Two (2) fathers were honored; Bro. Deago Brown and Bishop Darrell K. Butler. Bro. Ebenezer Father of the Year, Bro. Brown a US Veteran and faithfully serves as church deacon, husband and father to six (6) children. Community Father of the Year, Bishop Butler a US Veteran (Ret. Command Sargent Major) and is the founder and overseer of Bethel Community Apostolic Churches in Augusta GA.
