Cambridge Baptist Church

Sunday we were at Cambridge Baptist Church in Richmond where I served as interim pastor for about two and a half years. It was a wonderful day of worship and for renewing relationships. I was especially honored to be invited to preach that day by the new pastor, Jay Smith.



Mike Wilson leads the praise team. His day job is serving as a network administrator. Mike works hard to provide a powerful worship experience. His wife, Cindy, recently graduated from nursing school. They have two sons, one is in college, the other recently enlisted in the Navy.


Pastor Jay Smith is graduate of the US Naval Academy. He has a vision for seeing Cambridge have a significant impact on the community around the church as well as across our country and around the world.


"Into Hymn" a group of students from James Madison University provided the special music as well as a concert after lunch.


These to ladies with Charlotte are from Jamaica. They first started coming to Cambridge about a year ago. They have come to Henrico County Schools to teach in a special exchange program. A year ago they were facing culture shock and the challenge of beginning the school year in a new system. Cambridge was able to provide them a lot of encouragement and support.


The youth have always been a vital part of the church.


Chad and Anna Stillwell are part of the growing group of young adults.


Jason Owen is a professor at the University of Richmond. His little girl is six months old.


Tom and Harriet Jones have an awesome testimony and exhibit an incredible love for the Lord. Harriet sings for the worship services and is totally awesome!



In the midst of challenging days, God has a way of providing some wonderful blessings that we least expect. Sunday was one of those times!


I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.


Philippians 1: 6
