June 9th - Crown Point Baptist, Ocoee

The pastor of our host church and the participants in the program at the June 9 meeting all have direct connections to the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship church planting program and Boston Baptist College, Boston, Massachusetts. At this meeting you will see that the “Pioneer Spirit” that started the Boston college along with the influence of leaders like Jim Edge, President of Baptist Bible College, Springfield, Missouri, and David Melton, President of Boston Baptist College will help carry the fellowship into an exciting and successful future.

Crown Point Baptist Church (formerly Banana Bay Baptist) is our host church and was started with support from the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship. Founding pastor Tim Gunter and his wife Debbie are graduates of Boston Baptist College. They welcome the fellowship pastors, staff and their wives to be their guests on Monday, June 9. Along with the pastor’s meeting there will be a special gathering for the ladies at the Gunter’s home.

David Melton, President of Boston Baptist College, has become a favorite speaker at the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship and we are excited to have him as our keynote speaker for the June 9 meeting. David is also the pastor of the Metro-West Baptist Church in Norton, Massachusetts.

Under Dr. Melton’s leadership, Boston Baptist College received Massachusetts Board of Higher Education approval as a degree granting institution. Commenting on the accreditation award Aundrea Kelly of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education said, “The tipping point for the entire evaluation…and certainly the tipping point for final approval…was found in the person of David Melton.”

We are fortunate to have David as a key leader of young people preparing for ministry in our fellowship. It’s a privilege to have him address our pastors on June 9.

Richard “Chip” Keller, is a graduate of Boston Baptist College. Chip is the pastor of the Suncoast Baptist Church in Port Charlotte, FL. Suncoast began with support from the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship. Chip represents long-term success in the church planting efforts of the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship. Chip will share the solid scriptural foundation necessary to establish a strong sustained ministry.

Dustin Janney is a graduate of Boston Baptist College. Avalon Church in Orlando, FL, where Dustin is the Youth Pastor, was also started with the support of the Florida Baptist Bible Fellowship. Dustin, the son of Dave Janney, is a multi-talented individual possessing a rich heritage in ministry.
