Pastor Homer Lane Printup

PASTOR HOMER LANE PRINTUP – Age 71, was the 5th child born to the union of the late Joann Evans Sanders and S.B. Printup on May 29, 1951. He was educated in the Bartow County School System and graduated with the Cass High School Class of 1969. Homer proudly served four years in the United States Air Force. He was further educated at Coosa Valley Technical College and Rainbow Bible College. Homer was employed at Chemical Products Corp for 30 years. He was an electrician by trade; however, he also worked as an appliance repairman. Homer's ultimate and most rewarding job was as a repairman of human souls, as he dedicated much of his life to preaching and teaching the gospel and leading others to Christ. He wholeheartedly believed and was often heard quoting, "He that hath an ear, let him hear." Homer was very passionate about the souls and the salvation of others. For years, he taught Sunday School, ministered, and ultimately pastored at Queen Chapel Independent Methodist Church.
In his spare time, Homer enjoyed bowling, and he was an avid golfer. He was a member of a bowling league and president of the Prime Time Golf Association. Homer was a bridge in the community, where he mentored youth as a former little league baseball coach and parent supporter of the local Girls Scout Troop. He was a prayer warrior who was committed for many years to ministering at a jail ministry, a long time member of the Northwest Georgia Prayer Band, member of the Black Clergy Association of Bartow County, and he's recognized on the Kingston Veteran's Wall. Homer donated to various local charitable organizations.
Homer was most proud of his children; he loved his family!
