PASTORS

Seth was blessed to be raised by godly Christian parents. At an early age, he understood the truths of the gospel, but he struggled with doubts and the fear of death for a number of years, and it became evident during his teenage years that he was still dead in his sin. However, because of God’s amazingly patient-yet-persistent pursuit of grace, when he was 16 years old, the Holy Spirit opened Seth’s heart to truly understand the good news that Jesus saves, and he repented of his sins and trusted in Jesus alone for his salvation.

​

One year later, while on a mission trip, God unsuspectingly but definitively called Seth to the gospel ministry. Ever since that day, through teaching, leading, and preaching in the local church, serving as a mid-term missionary with the International Mission Board in Central Asia, and leading an international ministry, God has continually confirmed His calling on Seth’s life for the ministry. To further prepare for ministry, Seth received his Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. In December 2022, New Life Baptist Church voted Seth to be their next lead pastor. Seth is humbled by the amazing privilege to lead New Life Baptist Church, and it is his heart’s desire and prayer to see the members of New Life Baptist daily grow in treasuring Jesus Christ above anything else, their love for God’s Word, their pursuit of holiness, and their love for the lost.

Outside of pastoring New Life Baptist Church, Seth also works as a licensed professional civil engineer. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife Emily, and their four children – Ruby, Noah, Isaiah, and Gracelyn. He also enjoys doing anything outdoors – hiking, climbing 14er’s in Colorado, hunting, backpacking, golfing, or fishing with his children. If you want to get to know Seth better, strike up a conversation about college football, ask him what he is currently reading, or share with him what God has been teaching you from His Word.
