All the Pastor's of Goshen: From 1808-Present

This past week has been a busy one as Amanda and I have tried to finish up the cookbook (which is finally done!).  I worked on the history part and in the cookbook we have placed all of the pastor's who have served at Goshen Baptist Church over the past 200+ years.  I am the 55th pastor of Goshen and am honored to be among this prestigious list.  Here we have pastors, ministers, preachers, Ph.D's, professors, missionaries, parachurch leaders, and writers.  To read the stories of these fascinating men was a joy and I strongly encourage everyone to read our history book (one of the best local church histories I have ever read!!  Very thorough).

Anyways, here is the list and the years they served.
