Providence’s New Pastor & Family
The Providence Reformed Baptist Church has a new pastor! We are so excited to tell you about him and his family. The members of PRBC unanimously voted to call Mr. Xenophontos as their pastor on Sunday, May 23rd. There was much rejoicing when the results were announced and he and his family were called back into the meeting.
I have had the privilege of fellowship with George over the last 4 years. He has been teaching at the Heritage Baptist Christian School in Mt. Laurel, NJ for the last 8 years. I have preached in the school chapels and George has preached regularly here at Covenant Baptist in Lumberton, NJ.
George & Jenna have been married for 3½ years and have two children: Luke Theophilus (2), and Elissa Grace (2 mos.). George is a graduate of Bob Jones University, where he majored in history and biblical counseling. He is enrolled in Reformed Baptist Seminary and plans to pursue the M.Div program at RBS more vigorously now that he will be full-time in the ministry. As he labors full-time in the ministry at Providence, it is our hope and prayer that God will bless PRBC with growth for the prospering of the Gospel in this part of Bucks County for many years to come.
George is a gracious man of 31 years and a gifted preacher. His wife Jenna is a woman of God who is seeking to honor God as a wife and mother. She will be a great support to our brother as he serves the people of God in Gospel ministry.
Pastor Bart Carlson from Trinity Baptist Church of Montville, NJ (a sister Reformed Baptist Church), and I will be ordaining George to the Christian ministry at PRBC on June 6, 2010. The day will begin at 10 AM with Pastor Xenophontos preaching. I will bring the charge at 11:15 at his ordination. There will be a lunch served and the afternoon service will begin at 2:30 when Pastor Carlson will bring a charge to the congregation. You are cordially invited to attend if at all possible. Please contact the church is you have any questions, or if you would be able to let us know that you will be coming. Or you can contact Pastor Reuther at 609 845-7032.
Pastor John Reuther – Interim Pastor of PRBC
