In May 2017, God placed Katrina and myself at Briggs Road Baptist Church in Columbus where I serve as Senior Pastor. We are thankful to God for the course He has charted for us. He is faithful!
I was called to Briggs Road the Sunday after graduating with my Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in May 2017. I am now working toward a PhD in Christian Preaching through Southern Seminary.
We are excited about the future of Briggs Road Baptist Church! We are in the midst of a period of church revitalization and missional renewal. We have recently sponsored a new church plant which is meeting in our facility, Zomi Baptist Mission Church which is comprised of believers from Myanmar. There is great work left to be done in our city. Columbus is designated by the North American Mission Board as a “Send City” which is a target city for missions activity. Columbus is the largest city in Ohio and the 15th largest in the US, with over 2 million people in metro Columbus, only 12 percent of whom are affiliated with an evangelical church.
Will you pray for us as we seek to make Christ known to the nations beginning in Columbus, OH?
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
God is good. How large is the congregation ? We at Fairview have placed an add in the Western Recorder. Keep us in your prayers.
