Pastor loves serving the Lord in preaching, discipleship, evangelism, and counseling.

Pastor has the responsibility of leading the church ministry through God’s grace. With God’s leading the church was planted in November of 1990 and met in the Waverly Middle School for church services. The Lord miraculously provided each step of the way and the church purchased 6.79 acres on Mt. Hope Highway in 1994 and built a church facility in 1996. Pastor was the general contractor together with the workers in the church and several contractors donating their expertise they erected the building.

A Note From our Pastor
The Lord is so merciful and generous to have called me into ministry! This church ministry is based on the Bible and you are invited to discover the love for Christ that is genuinely displayed by the church family. My wife and I are serving God together in this ministry and would love to have you fellowship with us!
“Church” has always been an important part of my life and it is just terrific to be able to help others learn the joy of being involved in it. The Lord has called me to plant and pastor the Community Baptist Church in 1990. There is a great opportunity for each person to become what God’s will is for them through learning the Word of God. Our hope is for you to know the Lord and follow Him with all of your life.
