Our New Senior Pastor:
Rick Foddrill

I am honored and humbled to be your next Senior Pastor. I have greatly enjoyed my time serving you as Associate Pastor since 2013 and it will be a great privilege and joy to continue that service as your Senior Pastor starting June, 2020!

This page includes my testimony, doctrinal beliefs, philosophy of ministry, sermons on important church topics, and links to books that have helped to form my convictions for pastoral ministry and the church. 

​What I most want to communicate to you is contained in the sermon series, "Upholding the Distinct Marks of the Church." You can find these messages directly below.

DOCTRINAL BELIEFS

In addition to this statement, I find the following historical and contemporary statements to be helpful explanations of crucial biblical truths and important contemporary issues. 

• The historic creeds of Nicea and Constantinople (ccel.org/creeds/nicene.creed.html)
• The historic creed of Chalcedon (monergism.com/definition-council-chalcedon-451-ad)
• The Chicago statement on biblical inerrancy (etsjets.org/files/documents/Chicago_Statement.pdf)
• The Danvers statement on biblical manhood and womanhood (grbc.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/The-Danvers-Statement-on-Biblical-Manhood-and-Womanhood.pdf)
• The Nashville statement on biblical sexuality (cbmw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/The-Nashville-Statement.pdf)

• The Dallas statement on social justice and the gospel (statementonsocialjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/SSJG-FINAL.pdf)
• The 1689 London Baptist Confession (the1689confession.com)

BOOKS

The following are books which have been very helpful in my understanding of church ministry and are good summaries of my views on the church. 
​

OTHER RESOURCES

I consider 9 Marks ministry and Capitol Hill Baptist Church good models to follow regarding church identity and ministry. I have especially benefited from their emphasis on recovering meaningful church membership.
