Meet our pastors

Born in 1961 in Kingston, Jamaica, Dr. Laing in his early years distinguished himself as a keen servant of God after he began his pilgrim at the age of thirteen at Bethel Temple Apostolic Church in May Pen, in the parish Clarendon, under the leadership of the late Bishop Higgins.  

Not long after, in 1977, his innate inclination to become a warrior in the army of Christ became more vividly defined as he became a member of the Holiness Temple Church where he was a Sunday School teacher at age 15. Less than a year later he was ordained a Missionary served in that capacity 2 years preaching and teaching the gospel. It would be remiss of humanity to not recognize the stellar contributions made by this emissary of Christ and Vicar of His Holiness- Jesus Christ our Lord. Indeed, he is a lighthouse on the shores of our father’s kingdom; a citadel of strength and a fortress of endless fortitude, oh may we inherit half his strength. I can hear the voice of Timothy saying “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine”

In October 1979 Bishop Laing migrated to the United States.  He continued evangelizing and maintaining hs role as a beacon light of hope for many who followed his lead. He was ordained a Minister and for six years he was the Sunday School Superintendent at Colorado Springs C.O.G.I.C in Colorado Springs, Colorado.   In 1984 he moved to New Brunswick to attend Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and came back as an active member in Holiness Temple, in Somerset, New Jersey.  In September 1985 along with Elder Glenford Brown he became one of the Founding members of New Creation Apostolic Faith Church in Somerset, New Jersey.  He was ordained an Elder and labored for the next 19 years as the Assistant Pastor of New Creation Church of the Apostolic Faith Church.

In 1986 Dr. Laing was joined in holy matrimony to the most precious Sharon Hyacinth Brown and from this union came four lovely daughters, Zaadia, Kayla, Tatiana, Shandria, and Grandson Javion.  Elder Sharon is always there to lend her support and with her help, he was able to complete his Medical Degree at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.  After residency in Family Practice at Somerset Hospital, he spent 8½ years at J.F.K.  Family Practice Residency Program in Edison, NJ as an Associate Director.  For the past 16 years, he has been in private practice in Somerset, NJ.   He is the Past President of Caribbean Medical Missions and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) Alumni Association. He has received several awards for humanitarianism in medicine. Over the years he has worked tirelessly as Volunteer Associate Professor in Family Medicine where he has taught countless medical students. He has also volunteered in a Student-run Clinic “Promise Clinic” for many years and worked with The Eastern Service workers association in a free clinic for several years

In 2004 at the prime age of forty -two, he felt the call of God to enter a different kind of ministry to minister to the needs of the family, which led to the birth of Premier Family Life Ministry International. With great humility, he accepted the call and along with Elder Sharon Laing (his wife), now Associate Pastor, his 4 children, and all the members started a great work.  The goal of the ministry is family development in all areas. Over the past 13 years, he along with his wife has ministered to every spiritual and physical need of many families.

In June 2014, Dr. Laing received his Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Grace Hill Bible University.

In August 2016 he was elevated to the office of Bishop with consecration presided over by Bishop Austin Wright of the One Way Apostolic Faith Mission Churches, headquartered in Kingston Jamaica.

Dr. Euton Laing has dedicated himself to the study of the word, fasting, praying and preaching of the gospel. He has preached and taught the word of God in New Jersey, New York and many other places in the USA as well as in Jamaica. He has distinguished himself as one set apart, one called to raise the standard of holiness, one called to bear the covenant of Christ, he has rendered his life to the service of our father’s kingdom.

In August of 1986, Sharon was joined together in holy matrimony with Bishop  Euton Laing, M.D. Later, she migrated to the United States to join Euton in March of 1987. She became a member of the New Creation of the Apostolic Faith Church in Somerset, under the leadership of Pastor Glenford Brown Sr. where she used her talents as a Deaconess, choir director, Sunday school teacher, Usher, fundraiser, cook, and much more. During this time, she completed a course at Bard College in North Brunswick. In the nine years that followed her migration, Euton and Sharon had four beautiful daughters: Zaadia, Kayla, Tatiana, and Shandria. Later on, in 2010, they were blessed with a grandson, Javion.

After being a member at New Creation for sixteen years, God called Evangelist Sharon and her husband to start a ministry, which became what is known today as Premier Family Life Ministry which August 2004 in the Laing’s basement with about twenty-five people, and by the 2nd service, the basement was not enough room. The services were then held at the Somerset Volunteer Fire House on Easton Avenue for seven years. Presently, Premier Family Life Ministry has its services at 232 East Front Street in Plainfield.

In June 2014, Evangelist Sharon Laing was ordained an Elder and appointed Associate Pastor. With the burning desire to study the word of God, Pastor Sharon enrolled in Grace Hill Bible University in Plainfield, NJ. She worked tirelessly and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biblical studies in June 2015, her Master’s in June 2016, her Doctorate in Theology in June 2017. She didn’t stop there, as she now teaches one of the Associate’s classes for Grace Hill Bible University and is also a certified Chaplain, who loves to care for the sick and pray with them. Pastor Sharon is a great example of a woman of God, a mother, a wife, and a friend. She is caring, selfless, hardworking, helpful to others, and an overall virtuous woman.
