Pastor of -Gen Ministries: Front Street Baptist Church

Pastor of Next-Gen Ministries:
Front Street Baptist Church

Can the gospel make a difference in the least reached and least privileged part of Iredell County, North Carolina? “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts” (Zech. 4:6 )! Join our team at Front Street Baptist Church (est. 1911) and see how God is bringing together families and individuals from varied backgrounds to “love God, grow together, serve others, and share Jesus, in response to the good news of his grace.”

Next-gen ministry in our context has proven to be richly rewarding but also challenging and somewhat uneven.
