Rev. Roger Zimmerman
Click here to contact me.
Bro. Roger Zimmerman grew up in Garrett County, western Maryland. As a young
child, he attended Rosedale United Pentecostal Church pastored by Bro. R.J.
Riffle in Oakland, MD. Bro. Zimmerman was baptized in Jesus name at the age of
seven and received the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues, shortly
thereafter.
After graduation from high school, Bro. Zimmerman served in the Army National
Guard for six years. It was during this time that he felt the call of God into
ministry. He received local license with the UPCI in 1977.
In 1980-81, he taught a home Bible study to his employer’s daughter, Patricia
Livengood, who accepted this wonderful truth and was baptized in Jesus name and
filled with the Holy Ghost. They were married June 5, 1983 at the Rosedale UPC
by their pastor, Rev. Ralph Jacks.
In 1987, Bro. & Sis. Zimmerman accepted the ministry of assistant pastor at the
Sang Run United Pentecostal church in McHenry, MD, working with Pastor Ira E.
Hall. While there, they were privileged to take part in the building of a new
worship and learning center on US 219 in Accident, MD, before God called them to
move their business and their family to Frostburg, MD in 1994 to start a Home
Missions work.
Over the next four to five years, they were able to touch the lives of many
students attending Frostburg State University. They baptized many of those
students in Jesus name and saw them filled with the Holy Ghost.
In 1999, God moved the Zimmerman family to join the ministry team at Bonnieview
Apostolic Chapel in Keyser, WV. The Zimmermans count it as one of the greatest
blessings in life to be a part of the ministry of Bro. James Williamson & Bro.
Dan Garlitz. “They are truly two of the greatest men of God I know.” – Bro.
Zimmerman
Bro. Zimmerman has been blessed to be a part of several mission trips to Africa
with plans for many more.
The Zimmermans have two children, Ginger & Roger Jr, who both attend Bonnieview
Apostolic Chapel.
