So, since 2020 I have been busy pastoring Gulf Ridge Park Baptist Church in Brooksville, FL and haven’t really posted anything of significance on this site focusing more on our church website at www.gulfridgeparkbaptistchurch.com. Like many churches across the American landscape whether in cities or more rural areas churches are closing faster than we can plant new churches. Many pastors are in the same dilemma that I am facing in pastoring a small aging core of wonderful people in a church that peaked around 1990 to the best of my findings. At that time, it was a middle size church and one of the more prominent SBC Baptist churches in our area but like so many it has been on a downward Bell Curve trajectory ever since. Sadly, we are clinging to life while praying that a mighty infusion by God of willing, mature, adults who are empty nestors perhaps, who see a mission status size church meeting in a huge sanctuary will feel led to partner with us even if for a few years to see if we can alter the course of our church. We are praying for a miracle to happen in our church that only God can bring and to Him we will give all the glory and honor that He so richly deserves. If your church is in this same situation, please check out this site and its articles and feel free to reach out to me so that I can pray for your church as it would be our honor to do so, and we ask that you keep ours in your prayers as well.
