Bob burchett
Care Pastor
Pastor Bob Burchett, one of six siblings and a twin by five minutes, was raised with strong moral values despite not growing up in church. Near the age of 22, he experienced a profound transformation after attending a church service where he found forgiveness and peace through Jesus Christ. This encounter ignited his passion for studying the Bible and serving God, leading him to resign from his job within three months and pursue ministry full-time. Pastor Bob holds a BA in Ministerial Studies from Circleville Bible College and a Master’s in Clinical Pastoral Psychology, and has served as a youth minister, assistant pastor, and senior pastor. His heart for people extends to working with adolescents facing mental health and substance abuse challenges, leading small groups and alcohol recovery programs with compassion and dedication.

A dedicated servant within the church, Michael has faithfully served as Church Council President and Finance Chairman, and in 2023, he answered the call to become Executive Pastor — a role he sees as part of God’s greater plan for his life.
