We are led by a plurality of elders who meet the spiritual qualifications and carry out the responsibilities of 1 Timothy 3:2-7 and Titus 1:6-9. Elders are elected by the congregation to serve three-year terms. Currently, the elders of Morrow Bible Church are Stephen Howard (Pastor), Al Rhea, Steve Lewis, and Jeff Stough.
Born in British Columbia, Canada, Pastor Howard grew up mostly in Ohio and is glad to be here serving the Lord. He was raised in a Christian home. As a young child, he put his faith in Jesus Christ.
He graduated from Bob Jones University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and from BJU Seminary in 2011 with a Master of Divinity.
He then served four years as Assistant Pastor at Morrow Bible Church under Pastor Marvin Gassman. He was ordained to Gospel ministry in 2014. He was called by the congregation to serve as Pastor of Morrow Bible Church, and has served in that position since January 2015.
Pastor Howard is a member of the Ohio Bible Fellowship, a group of independent, fundamental Bible-believing pastors and churches in Ohio. He also serves on the board of the Ohio Bible Mission.
His hobbies include reading and spending time with family and fixing things around the house. His favorite pizza is from the local Highland Pizza shop in Sparta.
He and his wife, Jenny, have four daughters.
