"Hello, I'm Marvin Uptain, Pastor at Grace Baptist. My wife Penelope and I were led to this ministry in July 2000. It is a blessing to serve with such a joyful congregation. We have been blessed with many Godly friends.
Before coming to this ministry, I was an Educator, Associate Pastor, and Pastor for 20 years in Wyoming, Colorado, and Washington. I have Education and Bible degrees from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College and Luther Rice Seminary. My calling at Grace Baptist is to help believers progress in their conformity to Christ Jesus and to point unbelievers to the truth of salvation found in the gospel of Christ. I am, unashamedly, dispensational in theology; conservative in practice, and traditional in music and worship. Penelope assists me with church visitation, communication, and education.
In these difficult and trying times for America: it is important for the church and its servants to share the hope of the gospel with the community and encourage Christians to be steadfast in the teachings of the Scriptures. Prayer is an important component in helping all believers to know and to walk with God.
