Pastor McGhee returned home due to the tragic passing of one of his siblings, and the need to help stabilize his family during a difficult time.

Although this prevented him from returning to school after 3 years in, he was immediately  introduced to the demands of ministry by serving as Associate Minister and Christian Education Coordinator at Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. He assisted Pastor Emery with many of his pastoral responsibilities including mid-week Bible Classes and preaching venues. It wasn’t very long after that, that his ministry began to take off and many other opportunities to preach came through revivals and other occasions at various churches throughout the Northwest Indiana region.

In March of 1998, Pastor McGhee entered into full time Pastoral Ministry and graciously accepted the invitation to serve as Pastor of Mt Hermon Missionary Baptist Church of East Chicago, Indiana. Succeeding Pastor K.B. Long, Sr., who served the congregation for forty years, Pastor McGhee found himself with some rather big shoes to fill, nevertheless God providentially allowed the church to continue to grow spiritually. Many lives were transformed by the preaching and teaching of God's word. The ministry was featured on a weekly radio program that reached into the Chicagoland area.

Five and a half years later, after great and grooming years of service to Mount Hermon Baptist Church, the Lord guided his transition to South Bend to serve as Pastor/Teacher of Greater St John Missionary Baptist Church in November, 2003.

Upon answering the call to serve Greater St. John, Pastor McGhee continued to prepare himself educationally through building his personal library, seminars, conferences, and workshops despite the demands of full time ministry. Early in his tenure, a noon day Bible Study was initiated, an Annual outside "Tent Service" was organized to help spread the gospel to the unsaved in the neighborhood and an Annual Hymns and Spirituals Concert was organized to preserve our musical heritage.

Alongside his many Pastoral Responsibilities, Pastor McGhee currently serves as Moderator of the Northwestern Indiana District Missionary Baptist Association, President of the Indiana Missionary Baptist State Convention, member of the National Missionary Baptist Convention of America, Inc., member of the Michiana Baptist Fellowship as Workshop Lecturer and member of Michiana Ministers Coalition mentoring Intermediate School Male Students.
He continues to be involved in community activities and is well known and respected around the region.
