Dr. Ray Lincoln, Interim Pastor

First Baptist Church of Longmont is pleased to welcome Dr. Ray Lincoln as Interim Pastor.  Dr. Lincoln has served as senior pastor to single and multi-staffed churches in New Zealand, Australia and the USA. His 40 years of experience in coaching, counseling and teaching have given him the opportunity to guide many people to self-discovery and spiritual renewal. He has studied extensively in the areas of Psychology, Theology, Philosophy and Personology and has earned a BA, BD, MDiv, PhD and LTh.

Teaching people to succeed in life and overcome their challenges with God's strength are his passion. Ray says, "While remaining true to the teachings of the Bible, my strong interest has been to use the best of science and develop a true Biblical Psychology that can help people find true fulfillment God wants this for all of us. He knows best how we function and has left us the most helpful life-manual in the best-selling book ever!"

Conducting well over one hundred seminars in Australia, New Zealand and the USA has led him to lecture in universities, seminaries, and Bible colleges as well as businesses and churches. He has mentored pastors and other professionals. Ray has a deep faith in God, strengthened by his studies, and offers his services, experience and knowledge to you. His wife, Mary Jo, is more than a willing partner in his ministry and, in her own right, contributes much to their joint mission.

Ray and Mary Jo have settled in Littleton, Colorado. Ray is delighted to be partnering with First Baptist Church of Longmont to "stand in the gap" and develop their ministries until they find a full time, permanent pastor. His first Sunday in the pulpit will be on December 16, 2007.
