Pastor Henry White guided the new congregation in the beginning, until Pastor Odel Clifton Peart assumed the role in 1980. He served faithfully for nine years. After Pastor Peart's death in 1989, Leslie Hamilton and Roy Johnson, both ordained as elders in 1990, carried the mantle of leadership until the church called Donovan D. Cole who began serving in January of 1994 while still in an administrative position at the Jamaica Theological Seminary. He became full time pastor in September 1994.

Pastor Donovan D. Cole kept the lantern burning bright and took PGA to higher heights of spirituality and deeper depths of theology. He served well, leading the fellowship into increased community-based as well as national support. He rose the bar of our music and singing ministry and while here produced his Warfare album, concert and drama production. The mantle was passed on to yet another giant of the Faith... Dr. Carlton A. Dennis.

Pastor Dennis served as the oversight Pastor, continuing with the solid nutrition of the Word and the growth of the fellowship, both numerically and spiritually. As the President of the Associated Gospel Assemblies he was able to continually build up the leadership and shape the vision of the church into one for the future.

In the year 2008, the church appointed a chief shepherd for the present, our Pastor for the future, Rev. Conrad Reid. With him at the helm, we are on fire, well oiled, streamlined, fully armed and charging into the 21st century, going into all the world and spreading the Gospel message wherever men be found.

During these thirty two (32) years we can say that Portmore Gospel Assembly has grown from strength to strength. Our programmes have been structured with the community in mind and many persons have benefitted from our services.

In addition to our church services we serve our community with...
Counselling Services, Crusades, Youth Month and Family Month activities, Sunday School Rally, Vacation Bible School, GSAT extra lessons, Back-to-school activities and Outreach activities.

Our Outreach activities serve local children's homes, golden age homes, small churches and even overseas communities in places like Cuba.

Portmore Gospel Assembly continues to strive to build families and build communities.
