About

I am currently the pastor of Farmdale Baptist Church in Frankfort, KY. I am the husband of Gretta Willett of Loudon, TN. God has blessed Gretta and me with five children (Haddon, 10; Hannah, 9; Isaac, 5; Jonathan, 4; and Lydia, 2).

I am a graduate of Liberty University (Bachelor of Science), The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and am currently pursuing a PhD in Church History at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  My area of research is 17th century British Particular Baptist pastor, Hercules Collins.

I am also currently serving as Research and Administrative Assistant to the Director of The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies on the campus of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the Managing Editor of the semi-annual Eusebeia:  The Bulletin of the Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies.
