LEADERSHIP TEAM

We believe that salvation comes by confession of sin and faith in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, to believe in the heart that Jesus died and rose from the dead, and to proclaim with the mouth that He is Lord. We believe the Old and New Testaments to be the infallible Word of God; inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired by God, the complete and sufficient revelation of His will for salvation and conduct. We believe in the Great Commission; to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth. Amen.
 

STEVE BROOKS

PASTOR

I have been the Pastor of FNBC since 2008. I am grateful that God called me here. I love being the Pastor here.
 
I have been married to Angela since 1989, and God has blessed us with three wonderful children. Our oldest daughter, Meredith, is married to Ryan West. They are parents to five children, Sonny, Suzzanna, Myles, Brooks and Maggie. Our son, Ethan has two children, Coleson  and Ellie Kate. Our youngest daughter Emily, is a college student at this time. I love them all!
 
It is my desire to see people become fully devoted followers of Christ. May God be glorified through the ministries of First Newark Baptist Church.

Since 2010, I have been passionately serving as a teacher in Children’s Sunday School and Children’s Ministry on Wednesday nights. As a lifelong member of this church, I truly value the various ministries we support. Being part of a Gospel-centered community brings me great joy.

I have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Ronald, since 1989. Together, we have two amazing children, Hannah and Garrett, and we are blessed with two delightful grandchildren, Payten and River.

I am sincerely grateful for First Newark’s steadfast commitment to the Gospel and cherish the incredible people in our church who faithfully serve the Lord each week.
