What is something youāve been able to celebrate at your church recently?
In a time of declining attendance in Baptist churches, we are actively receiving new members by faith, baptism, and letter. God has been so good in planting this church many years ago, and we are seeing a boom in new housing all around our church. We are both rural and city.
Whatās one lesson youāve learned to this point of your ministry that you know youāll never forget?
Even in the darkest of times, God is still active and moving in the hearts of people. When COVID-19 hit, few churches were prepared for the consequences of decisions that were being made that affected the church. Yet, when we began meeting again, it was a time of growth and not decline. Then in the winter of 2021, our area lost power for three days. Our church building became cold and we suffered a flood from several breaks in water lines. And yet, God was faithful.
