Bob Brown - Pastor

Pastor Bob Brown

I was saved at 9 years old at the Union Free Will Baptist Church in Wheelersburg, Ohio. I rededicated my life during Youth Camp in 1977 and surrendered to the “call” to preach at age 16, on September 21, 1977. The Pine Creek Quarterly Conference of Free Will Baptists, Wheelersburg, Ohio ordained me to preach on November 25, 1978.

Ann Marie, my strength, encourager and best friend became my wife in 1983 after we met as students at Free Will Baptist Bible College. We now have two children, Amanda, who is now married and lives in OK, and Shane, who attends college and is studying for Missions in TN. At present, Ann and I are raising our nephew Rickie and three nieces, Cassie, Kasie and Laura.

I served our country in the U.S. Air Force during the 1980s. I enjoy motorcycles, antique cars, hunting and camping but my favorite thing is to see people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

I completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Bible/Pastoral Training with a minor in Business from Free Will Baptist College in Nashville, TN and a Master of Arts Degree in Biblical Studies from Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College in Moore, OK. I have also done Graduate work through Liberty University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have been able to minister in various children and youth arenas in Ohio, Tennessee and Kansas; and have pastored churches in Texas, Kansas and Arkansas. The Lord called me to this ministry in Fredericksburg in October 2004.

Where should I serve?

Prayer is vital. As you seek the Lord’s direction, he will give you wisdom to know where he wants you to fellowship. So, be sure to make prayer a priority each step along the way. If you’re not sure why it's important to find a church, check out what the Bible says about church attendance.

What are my beliefs?

It’s important to understand the doctrinal beliefs of any church before joining. Before joining be sure the church effectively teaches the Bible. At Heritage, we believe that every Scripture passage is inspired by God. Read more about our beliefs at "About Us - What We Believe."
