The Team

Jesus is our Chief Pastor

Jesus is the true Pastor and Shepherd of Leominster Baptist Church

He is the Head of the church (Ephesians 1:9, 1:22-23, 4:15, 5:23).
He is the one who planted the church (Hebrews 3:1).
He is the leader who builds the church (Matthew 16:18).
He is the one who guides the church (1 Peter 5:4).

Therefore, as a church and as a leadership it is our delight to love Jesus, obey Jesus, imitate Jesus, serve Jesus, and follow Jesus at all times and in all ways.
