I have served as the Pastor of Preaching at Grace Fellowship Church in Albion, Southeastern Illinois, for the past eight years. Grace Fellowship is a Reformed Baptist congregation holding to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. I remain humbled and thankful to my risen Lord for calling me to the ministry of the Word and entrusting me with the high privilege of pastoral service. I love the flock the Lord has given to my fellow Elders and I.
This exposition concerns the blessings of being a church member, particularly the blessings that come from being the recipient of the pastoral ministry in a local church.
