Bob's Story
Life
God has really blessed me since graduating from East in 1974. I spent 2 years at RIT and then transfered to Greenville College (IL) where I met and married my dear wife of 36 years, Monica. We have 5 children: Katie-33, Mandee-32, Bobbe-31, Tim-29, & Liz-26. I also have 3 granddaughters, Ava, Abby &Reese and a grandson, Keagan! From Greenville College, I went on to earn a MS degree from Eastern Illinois and have spent 22 years coaching and teaching, primarily in Christian Higher Education. I coached 7 years at LeTourneau University, 6 years at Greenville College, 2 years at Moody Bible Institute, and 3.5 years at Central Christian College where I also served as the Athletic Director. My baseball teams won over 250 games and I had a player drafted by the LA Dogers! In 1990, God called me into pastoral ministry and I began to serve as a bi-vocational pastor until 1998, when He led me to come to Grace Community Baptist Church in Trenton, IL. I just completed my 12th year as pastor there and was ordained in 2002. My greatest desire is to Glorify God with my life and to use whatever opportunities He gives me to share the love and message of Jesus with others. God's peace, love and best to you!

Workplace
I'm beginning my 15th year in pastora...Expand for more
l ministry after a very exciting and rewarding 18 years in coaching and teaching. Pastoring is very similar to coaching in that you "coach" people regarding their spiritual lives. I have pastored 4 churches in these last 15 years and I am currently the senior pastor at Grace Community Baptist Church in Trenton, Illinois. Grace is currently in the middle of a building campaign with over $100,000.00 raised thus far and we purchased 10 acres to rebuild in time as the Lord leads. I love the church and I love my family as well. My five children and wife have been the greatest testimony or evidence that Christianity works when entered into with all heart, soul, and mind. They all currently serve the church in various ministries. My wife, Monica, serves as chair of Christian Ed and Pre-school committees. I love to read and study God's Word. I have learned that if you will follow Him when God calls you to leave something that you love to do, like I did coaching and teaching, that He will reward your faithfulness and obedience. He has truely blessed me with the desires of my heart and I want to continue to glorify Him in and through my life. I want to encourage everyone, everywhere to seek a personal relationship with Jesus!
In His grip,
