Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
1 Timothy 3:1-7

Pastor Ramsey is a humble and gifted servant of God whose ultimate desire is to do the will of God. Ramsey served honorably as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He had faithfully served as the Youth Pastor of Faith Bible Church for over 17 years on the gospel field for Jesus Christ. In 2024, he began his journey as Senior Pastor of Faith Bible Church. He has been married to his lovely wife Kathryn since July of 2008; together they have two children.
Pastor Ramsey’s desire for the church is to be within the community proclaiming the Word of Christ and providing sound fundamental Bible teaching. Pastor Ramsey is a man who loves God, God’s people, and His Word. He enjoys family time, relaxing, hiking, disc golf, fishing, camping, reading, and learning whatever he can to share with others.
Ramsey enjoys preaching and teaching the Word of God with power, conviction, and simplicity at every opportunity that avails without compromise. A saying his mentor told him was, “be ready to preach, pray, or die in a moment’s notice.”
Pastor Ramsey states that he loves the young, the elderly, and unsaved people groups. The young, because they have so much to gain. The elderly, because they have so much to share. The unsaved, because their eternal destiny is at hand.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
