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 was privileged to serve as chaplain for the world renowned choir, The Oakwood University Aeolians and blessed to found and co-found many ministries that he has seen the hand of God move powerfully through. Namely, 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 based on Acts 2 that has led to over 50 baptisms and thousands of encounters with Jesus world wide. 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 1,700 weekly readers. You can join that number and subscribe to receive those free messages 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 has most recently been privileged to serve at the historic Shiloh church in Cincinnati, OH and is currently elated and honored to simultaneously serve as the pastor of the Bethel and Greater New Hope Community churches in Cleveland and Canton, Ohio as well as Young Adult Cordinator for the Allegheny West Conference of SDA.
Pace is happily married to his best friend and teammate, the former Taelyn Culberson of Atlanta, GA and committed to pursuing the goal of continually abiding in Jesus that he may produce fruit.
