Five years...

Patricia was a beautiful woman who was a gift in my formation as a pastor. I am now in Pamplona, Spain, walking the Camino de Santiago. I will carry Pat with me.

It was a blessing to have been Patricia’s pastor. She taught me so much about how to care for the flock at First Baptist Church of Belmont. I am eternally grateful to her.
