Pastor Ross Cullins - Solid Rock Baptist Church

I accepted Jesus Christ as Savior at a young age. At the age of twenty I began to understand the Lordship of Jesus Christ. After being persuaded that God had called me to preach, I accepted the call in June 1970 and preached my trial sermon. My philosophy of ministry is largely formed by the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). The Church has the dual responsibilities of leading people to accept Christ as Savior and of helping them to mature in the faith. I also believe that the effectiveness of any congregation will be largely determined by the unity of purpose and action existing between the leadership and the congregation. My desire is to continue serving the church of Jesus Christ as Pastor/Teacher as He directs.
