PRAIRIE â Pastor Perry Carr has a few firsts to his name in Aberdeen business and school settings, but a lesson he preaches through his second career is a universal message he wants to push for other peopleâs success.
âThe key to success is a very strong bond with God and a very strong bond with family. All successes are mostly centered around those two things,â he said.
Carr, who is senior pastor at Pleasant Valley alongside McAllister Road, Union Grove in Wren and Mt. Pisgah in Okolona, grew up in a family with two sisters and two brothers, and they all had strong ties to God.
