I pastored a rural church, before, outside of Rochester, Minnesota. We really enjoyed working with the farming community. They responded well to the ministry. We were kind of asking the Lord, if we had the opportunity to pastor one more church before we retired, that a rural church would be a blessing, and it is that. We really enjoy our time here with the people.
Obviously, preaching and teaching the Word of God to people who are in love with Christ and who are accepting of the Word, leading others to Christ is a joy. Just being with the people when they’re hurting is a blessing. The church has been committed to this community for 135 years. It’s a very stable ministry. You can count on it. It teaches the Word of God as it is for people as they are. It’s non-judgmental. Very accepting of anyone who comes to visit. We try to live by the Word of God that we preach. We don’t do that perfectly, but we still seek to live what we preach. Anyone is welcome here. --Rev. Hill pastors First Baptist Church
