“It is a blessing and privilege to be called to Ridge Baptist Church. It is clear that God has done and is continuing to do something remarkable through this church family in their community. To be invited to shepherd a congregation with such a rich history of service and missions is a humbling honor. I believe that the commands to love God with everything we’ve got and to love others is woven throughout Ridge’s core values of Worship, Relationship, Community and Missions. My wife and I have already felt the warmth and genuine care of the Ridge family, and are eager to begin building relationships and discerning what God has in store for our future together.”
Pastor Greg will preach, provide strategic vision and leadership, oversee church staff, offer pastoral care, lead faith formation opportunities, and help the church reach new people in its community.
He and his wife Kim feel very blessed to begin their new ministry journey in Richmond. Their adult children, Erin (Emery) and Joel are excited for their parents’ calling to serve at Ridge. Kim teaches kindergarten in Henrico County.
