“I am encouraged by leaders like Bishop Fisher, who use their skills to influence positive change. I join the Greater Zion Church Family’s celebration of Bishop Fisher’s 20th Pastoral Anniversary and recognize his outstanding leadership and dedication to both his congregation and the community of Compton. His father, the late Rev. Dr. W. Jerome Fisher, was a master teacher and powerful preacher who organized the first Black church in Compton. I applaud Bishop Fisher’s vision and unwavering commitment, as cofounder of the Compton Ministers Alliance and past president of Pastors for Compton, as he continues to inspire and uplift this community. I extend a special congratulations on this significant anniversary and his recent ecclesiastical elevation to Bishop. I extend my very best wishes for his continued success in service to others”.
