About
Who We Are
We are a church located in Jenison, Michigan.
We are a Grace-driven congregation who strive to Proclaim Christ, to Please Him, for His Glory. We seek to proclaim the Bible as absolute authority and as the divinely inspired, infallible Word of God. It is how we find life with God, and the light that guides the lives of believers in Jesus Christ. For us, Christianity is not about Bible versions, traditionalism, clothing styles, or people trying to obey Pastor. We see life in Christ as so treasuring God's Truth as to work to live it out, trusting the Holy Spirit's ability to change hearts, and expecting and encouraging each other to strive to please Christ, not anyone's personal standard of holiness.

In 1982 Sam earned the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology, and went to work for companies in the Medical Manufacturing, and Automation Measurement & Controls industries. The One True God saved him in 1989. He is married to Jill, and presently they reside in West Michigan. In 2003, Sam earned the Master of Divinity from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the founding pastor of Westside Baptist Church in Jenison, MI—which first held services in 2004.
