Yesterday was Jefferson Baptist Church’s 50th birthday. We had testimonies from a number of people who had been around for most of those years, pictures and video’s of people, events and building projects over the last 50 years, and cake after each of the three services. It was a very emotional time for me as every picture prompted memories of the past and how God has blessed and worked at JBC since we began with 18 people 50 years ago.

God has worked, guided, and blessed my life in my marriage and family, my health, my home and hobbies, but especially in my years of serving Him as the Pastor of JBC. Way back in 1976, my vision was that we might grow to a church of 100 if I worked hard. It is amazing all that He has done here and even more amazing that I got to be a part of this adventure and journey.
