J. Mark Sawyer
Senior Pastor Pastor Sawyer was reared in a Christian home and attended a Baptist church throughout his childhood. However, it wasn't until June 15, 1980 at the age of 24 that he came to trust Christ. Four years later, on September 15, 1984, he surrendered to the gospel ministry and began the journey that eventually led him to New London Baptist Church. That journey led through pastorates in three different states, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Texas. Pastor Sawyer believes those previous pastorates prepared him for the various ministries at NLBC. God has given him a great burden for this community. His goal is to reach the surrounding community with the Gospel message by the end of 2020. |
