Pastor

First Baptist Church of Vona reflects the rural culture of the Eastern Colorado Plains, a region defined by independence, agricultural cycles, and tight-knit, multi-generational social circles. Ministry in this specific
context requires navigating the cultural patterns where church life respects local seasons of branding, planting, and harvesting. The congregation is remarkably friendly and highly welcoming to newcomers.
Theologically, First Baptist Church of Vona stands as a Reformed Baptist congregation maintaining a foundation of biblical truth. Members possess a deep understanding of Scripture and are well-read in theology, apologetics, and
classical Christian authors. The church values a "Plain Sense" approach to Scriptural exegesis. They hold a traditional, conservative view of the Bible as the final authority, paired with an understanding of God's sovereignty.
Furthermore, the church expects Christ-centered exegesis that rejects moralism, grounding Christian ethics in the finished work of Jesus.
