Pastor Eric Brown
In the fall of 2011, our church called Eric Brown and his family to Faith Fellowship as our church's third pastor since we began in 1996. Pastor Brown and his wife, Clarissa, have been married for nearly five years and have a young son, Thomas, who was born in February 2011. Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Pastor Brown received a B.A. in Bible, M.A. in Theology, and Master of Divinity from Bob Jones University. Clarissa, who also grew up in Chicago before her family relocated to Kansas City, MO, has a bachelor's degree in English Education and a Master's degree in counseling, also from BJU. They are excited to be a part of the ministry of Faith Fellowship and look forward to how the Lord will bless the church as it ministers in our community in the years to come.
Deacons
We currently have three men serving in the office of deacon: Cris Grovatt, Frank D'Agostino, and Kellen Funk. All three of these men play an active and vital role in our church's ministry.
History
Faith Fellowship Baptist Church was established on October 20, 1996, when our first services were held at the home of Cris & Sue Grovatt in Mount Laurel. The church started with a group of 13 people who desired to have a strong, biblically-focused church in our community.
Our first pastor was Dr. Bill Raymond, who had originally served as our adviser during the planning stages of the church. Early in 2005 we welcomed Pastor Bob Rogish and family, who was with us until 2011. In the fall of 2011, we called Pastor Eric Brown, with his wife Clarissa and son Thomas, to lead us. We rejoice in the 16 years of ministry the Lord has already granted us, and we are eager to see our church grow and minister in effective ways in the years to come.
