Our Minister In Training
I believe my call to Baptist Ministry emerged when I was 31 years young. I was always keen in helping and serving people with the desire to share the Saving Grace that can be found in the Good News of Christ. As I've grown older, the urgency to do this in a proper way became more prominent. I thought seriously about what I really wanted to do with my life, and the desire to see the change that Christ brings in the lives of people became stronger. I started praying about it and clearly felt like God was calling me to be a pastor where this desire would be satisfied. My hope for the Baptist ministry is for the current youth to be transformed into great future leaders with the fear of the Lord and the knowledge of Christ.
