Children's Ministry
Patrick Newbill, Children’s Pastor
Phone: 858-8617 | Email: patrickn@hoffmantown.org
Patrick comes from Chattanooga, TN where he served as Children’s Pastor at Woodland Baptist Church. He came to Hoffmantown in May of 2008. He is married to K.C. and has two children, Christi (1994) and Curtis (1996). Saved at the age of 17, he began to understand the surrendered lifestyle while sitting under the teaching of Wayne Barber (’90-’99). He then became a Children’s Pastor while receiving his Biblical Counseling MDIV from Southeastern Seminary. The most influential verse in his ministry has been 1 Corinthians 13:11 in which Paul states that when he was a child he spoke as a child, thought as a child, and reasoned as a child. Children think differently than adults. If we are to be effective at ministering to a child (the most fertile mission field) we must enter his world and relate Biblical truth on his level.
