Cress W. Bonner

Cress Waldell Bonner (Dell) was born to the parentage of the late Cress Lee Bonner and Ruby Jean Cody Bonner in Macon, Georgia on July 7, 1958.

Cress Bonner attended and graduated from Duresville Elementary, Southwest High School, Morehouse College and Emmanuel Bible College. He had a number of jobs over the years and was an active member at his church, Covenant Church of Jesus Christ in Macon, Georgia.  He’s been honored and awarded many certificates and trophies for his service to God and God’s children.  

Cress Bonner became saved in his early 30’s and was committed to the Christian Church.  His main goal in life was to let every individual he encountered know about God, his plans and goodness no matter what flaws you possessed so that they’ll one day be received into the Kingdom of Heaven.
