Brother Edward felt the Spirit calling him to preach as a young man a few years after his baptism in April, 1943. He exercised that calling by preaching for the first time on Labor Day weekend in 1947 at Boiling Springs Church. Interestingly, Sister Florine felt moved to join the church following that sermon and has been a constant and loyal helpmate throughout his long ministry. The blessings on Boiling Springs Church continued for a season as six others joined the following Sunday. The pastor of Boiling Springs Church for the years of his earliest development as aminister of the gospel was Bartow Alred Phillips. They spent innumerable hours together by the fireplace in the winter and on the porch in the summer as Elder Phillips expounded the word to his eager student. Brother Edward accompanied Brother Phillips as he traveled to the four churches he served in those days.Brother Edward's first appointment to preach away from his home church of Boiling Springs was at Ebenezer Church in what is now known as Dunwoody, Georgia on the second Sunday evening in October, 1948. He was called to pastor Shoal Creek Church in Cherokee County, Georgia in December 1949 and was subsequently ordained to the full work of the ministry, the ordination service held at Boiling Springs Church on January 28, 1950.

Brother Edward's love for the Lord is manifested in his boundless zeal to serve His people. He has served as pastor in the following churches: Shoal Creek, 1949 to 1965; Boiling Springs, 1954 to 1973 and 1975 to 1976; Big Creek, 1958 to 1965; Union 1966 to present; Cross Roads 1971 to 1981.
