Senior Pastor - Philip Russell

Pastor Phil joined BBC in August of 2007.  He came to us with a strong background in pastoral leadership and over 35 years of ministry with experiences ranging from youth work to associate pastor to senior pastor.  His ministry is motivated by a passion to teach God's Word and equip believers to minister to others.  His style of preaching is mainly expository (verse by verse, passage by passage) showing the scripture's meaning and relevance for our lives today and creating a love for God and His Word.

“The greatest joy in life is realizing the greatness of God’s love demonstrated for us at the Cross of Calvary.  Through the cross God has opened the door to a wonderful relationship with Himself that is beyond our comprehension.  To use the Apostle Paul’s words:  “…as it is written, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him…' " I Corinthians 2:9.

In a society that craves love - genuine love - these words are like diamonds on black velvet.  God wants us to know how much He loves us.  That’s why He gave us His written word.  It’s His letter to us revealing what He did to show us how much He loves us, why we struggle to accept His love, and what He has done to make it possible for us to receive His love.  And, it’s all written in His Word.  Won’t you join us as we study His Word together?”   Pastor Phil
