Dr. S. Evan Burrows
Senior Pastor
Pastor Burrows says there has never been a time he has not loved and embraced the church. At the age of nine he accepted Christ as his savior and has never regretted this glorious decision.
Pastor Burrows has been preaching the gospel for more than thirty-five years. He is a gifted Bible teacher and is passionate about communicating the truths of the scriptures and is committed to developing competent and committed leadership in the local church to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.
Pastor Burrows also has a heart for missions and believes in supporting efforts around the world to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Consequently, numerous members of First Baptist Church of College Hill have participated in short-term mission trips over the years.
The vision God has given pastor for the church is to see members
Love the Lord,
Grow as believers and
Reach the world for Christ.
Pastor Burrows is married to his lovely wife Rosa, and they have two sons Henry, and Andrew.
