ROGER THROWER has been pastoring in Fairmont, West Virginia for thirty years.  He and his wife Heather began their ministry as New Hope Foursquare Church and have recently restored an historic church building in downtown Fairmont, relocated their congregation, and changed their church’s name to City Church Fairmont to strategically serve the needs of their city.

Much of his ministry formation took place under Pastor Jack Hayford at The Church on the Way where he also met and married his wife Heather. Pastor Jack invited Roger to be a guest on his television program Spirit-formed to ministry his songs as Pastor Jack exhorted from his lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iifJJw4jas8    Roger and Heather served as home group leaders under Hayford and Roger served on his staff for three years.
