Brother Jarvis Bailey: recent author of a devotional book titled, “Three Minutes with God.”

The Reverend Jarvis E. Bailey is passionate about the benefits of faith and the positive impact it can have on a person’s life, and proposes that devotional time with God is a key element in unlocking and energizing that faith.  A Christian minister for 25 years, the author has served as an Army Chaplain, Senior Pastor, Church Planter, and a community, civic affairs leader and active member of Fredericksburg Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.  Rev. Bailey believes that “the quality of a person’s life depends on the quality of their relationship with God,” and he has committed his life to helping others achieve the highest quality of life possible.

A native of Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore, Reverend Bailey earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Virginia Tech, and a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University.  He is happily married (for 23 years), and has three wonderful children. This year (2008), He and his wife established an endowment fund to “help others live their best life.”  Reverend Bailey currently serves as a member of the School Board in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
