Grace Baptist Church

Bro. Steven Sewell, Pastor

Bro.Sewell is a 2nd generation Baptist preacher and pastor.  In May of 1999, he surrendered to the call God placed on his heart to preach the Word of God.  He says, "It was a hard decision since I grew up as a preacher's kid and saw the other side of being a pastor.  But, God has blessed my ministry and has always sustained me."  Bro. Sewell holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and will be graduating in the spring of 2009 with a Bachelor's Degree in theology from the Missionary Baptist Seminary.  He plans to pursue his Master's Degree from the same institution.  Bro. Sewell has been married since 2002 to his wife Staci who also grew up in a preacher's home.  They have a beautiful, energetic daughter named Bethani.

Bro. Sewell believes the best is still ahead for Grace Baptist Church.  He is passionate about souls, about faithfully and unashamedly preaching the Word of God, and about this church being and doing more for the Lord's work.
