Our Pastor grew up in a Christian home and attended a fundamental Baptist church in the Detroit area. Having been saved at the age of 9, he dedicated his life to the gospel ministry as a teenager at Camp CoBeAc. After high school he attended Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Watertown, Wisconsin, where he received both a B.A. and M.A. in Bible. It was at college that he met his wife, Grace, who grew up in a Baptist pastor's home in Illinois. They were married in 1975 after they both graduated from college.
Pastor and Grace have five children. Joanne and her husband Rob have four children and Rob serves as assistant pastor at Maranatha Baptist Church. Jonathan and his wife Sarah have two children and serve at Brookside Baptist Church in Brookfield, WI. Joel and his wife serve at Northland Camp while Joel is in graduate school at Northland Baptist Bible College. Jill and her husband Steven Dow teach in a Christian school in Owatonna, MN. Julie is a student at Bob Jones University.
Pastor Albright has served at four local churches in the states of Illinois, Kansas and Michigan over the last 30 years. He began his ministry at Maranatha Baptist Church of Flint in May 2004.
Pastor Albright's vision for Maranatha Baptist Church is that we should be to the praise of God's glory, by making and maturing believers, to be changed into the image of Christ, and to do so in the spirit of compassion and servant-heartedness. |
