Pastor's Desk
Hello, My name is Jim Neeson, and I became pastor of Boomer Baptist Church on December 28, 2008. We moved from Chesapeake, Virginia and filled the pulpit of Boomer Baptist on February 1, 2009 Super bowl Sunday. I can say it is a pleasure to be apart of this church. As you read its history it has survived a hundred years. That is no small thing. A number of men have pastored this church down through the years each adding a part to the building blocks that have made Boomer Baptist what it is today. We are grateful to have a part in that process and I believe with what is going on in the world that we may be the generation to see the coming of the Lord. I was saved while serving in the USN on board the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the last days of August in the year of 1978. God used the truth of His Coming to save me. After serving my enlistment of four years I left the Navy for Bible College. I attended Tabernacle Baptist Bible College in Greenville, SC. It was there I met my wife Janet and was married by Dr. Harold B. Sightler. The Lord has blessed us with five children, four girls and a boy. Two of our oldest girls, Shannon and Karen, will graduate May 2009 from Tabernacle Baptist Bible College with education majors. My third daughter Hannah is finishing her third year of nursing school at Pensacola Christian College. My fourth daughter, Amanda, graduates this year and will also be attending Pensacola this fall. And Joshua has two years left in high school. Boomer Baptist Church is an exciting church which offers many ways to serve the Lord. God has blessed our church with men whose hearts are ready to serve and do a good job at it. Boomer enjoys good godly music with a dedicated music director and a singing choir! The specials are heart warming and will bless your soul. We have Sunday School for every age with teachers that make a difference. We have shut-in ministries where our ladies visit the elderly in their homes. We have a family in our church that reaches out to minister in the nursing homes close by in monthly services faithfully preaching the Word of God to those who no longer are able to attend the services at the church. Boomer also has a Christan School Academy from K-12 grade. We have graduates that are serving the Lord faithfully here at home and soon to be on the mission field of the Azores. We also reach into a local prison where I have an opportunity to preach the gospel. Our men are very supportive of this and attend these services to the great joy of the inmates. We have correspondence with these men on a daily basis through Rock of Ages and Source of Light Ministries. One of the men of our church is a great blessing to those men in his faithful ministry of the Word of God to them. In the future we will be on the Radio on 90.5 FM reaching out to our area of the world. If you ever call Boomer you will most likely be greeted by the friendly voice of our secretary who has been a part of this church for almost as long as it has been in existence and these mountains of WV have kept her young. I am sure if you are looking for a church that makes a difference, cares for its people, and has a heart for Missions (reaching all the world), you will, we hope, find Boomer Baptist to be such a church. We invite you to visit our services and we trust that in the event you do so that God will bless your visit with us. Pastor Jim Neeson |
