This is my last time writing this letter to you as your pastor. It is a little unsettling to do some things for the last time. God has allowed me to preach over 6,000 sermons and write over 3,200 articles to this wonderful church. A quote often attributed to Dr. Seuss sums up my feelings. […]

Back in 2008, Fain traveled with Eastmont Baptist Church, Montgomery, on a high school mission trip. “It would be cool to live up here for a little bit,” he recalled thinking and said he never could have imagined what the […]
