Meet Pace.
Furman F. Fordham III, affectionately known as Pace, is the oldest of three sons born to Pastor Furman Fordham II and Jennifer Gill Fordham. After graduating from Pine Forge Academy, Pace went on to Oakwood University where he graduated with a bachelor's in Ministerial Theology.
While at Oakwood, Pace served as chaplain for the world renowned choir, The Oakwood University Aeolians and founded and co-founded many ministries: Closer, a Christ-centered, discussion-based small group ministry; Redemption SDA Fellowship, an online/pop-up church congregation catering to collegiate young adults; Without Walls, an outdoor worship service that came to prominence during the pandemic; and ROAR, a traveling worship experience that has led to thousands of encounters with God and over 50 baptisms across their last few events. You can learn more about ROAR on www.roarworship.com.
He is also the founder of Thoughts By Pace, an online platform he developed to present the good news of Jesus through devotionals he writes and publishes on his website, PaceFordham.com/thoughtsbypace, for over 1,600 weekly readers. You can subscribe to receive those free devotionals right to your phone by texting the word “thoughts” to (844) 750-0137. In 2024, Pace published his first book, Just Jesus, a devotional compilation designed to help people find peace, identity, and clarity in Christ. You can find his book on PaceFordham.com/just-jesus or Amazon.com.
Pace is engaged to his best friend, Taelyn Culberson of Atlanta, GA and privileged to serve on the pastoral staff at the historic Shiloh church in Cincinnati, OH. In addition to Shiloh, he also serves as the Young Adult Cordinator for the Allegheny West Conference. Pace’s life goal remains the same: to be a continuously-growing man that God can use to introduce Himself to others simply and practically.
