In Memoriam

Rev. Sylvia E. Randolph

Rev. Sylvia E. Randolph was Pastor of Christ Center Ministries Baptist Church of Gaithersburg Maryland and an active member of the Black Ministers Conference of Montgomery County in the mid-2010s during the presidency of Rev. Dr. LaVern Wilson. Rev. Randolph was the widow of Deacon Walter E. Randolph and proud mother of three daughters, a granddaughter, seven stepchildren and one great grandchild. She was a retiree of the Prince George’s County Public Schools system where she worked as a Specialist Educator. With deep family and ministerial ties to New York City, she often traveled to Greater Tabernacle Baptist Church NY, NY to visit friends. Pastor Randolph was a fiery preacher that refused to compromise on the matters of the Lord. She was known for calling out sin no matter the station of the person. In her later years, her joy was seeing her family reunited and serving in the ministry of Christ Centered Ministries Baptist Church as Deacons and lay leaders. Rev. Sylvia E. Randolph will be a minister on the wall whose clarion call to salvation will be missed.

Rev. Malbon-Reddix was dedicated to the Conference. She served three terms as Conference Secretary, and many years as our Conference Retreat Planner and as the Chair of the Health and Wellness Committee. The Black Ministers Conference cherishes the memory of her life and leadership.
