Pastor Michael Abbott
and Diana Abbott

Pastor Abbott began as the minister of Brownsburg Baptist Church in March of 1994.  He has enjoyed serving in pastoral ministry since 1977.  His ministry is characterized by his desire to lead people to live biblically.  He explains his philosophy of the ministry from the words of Ephesians 4:11&12, "And he gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

Pastor Abbott's preaching is evidence of his experience and preparation.  He has received a B.A. degree in Pastoral Studies from Indiana Baptist College.  He was the recipient of the 1985 Alumnus of the Year Award from his alma mater.  His approach to pastoring a church is expressed in his faithful preaching, visitation and helpfulness.

Pastor Mike Abbott is a well grounded Christian leader who is known as one who “walks his talk” and “practices what he preaches.” He is both business and people minded, giving him the ability to deal with the complexities of stewarding church resources, while maintaining the integrity and godly principles of the church he leads. He prepares well for any church ministry, through prayer, research, and wise counsel. He is a visionary, and is able to communicate that vision to those he leads, allowing them to associate themselves willingly with the ministry or project at hand. The continued growth and commitment to God of the people he leads are his ultimate concern and responsibility.

 

Dr. Ken Copley combines 19 years in pastoral ministry with his experience and gift of counseling, to minister in our addiction ministry and to counsel members who are struggling through family, spiritual and other life situations. His focus is to teach others to have a loving relationship with Jesus. A gifted visionary and prayer warrior who knows how to draw people to service, he leads the church’s discipleship program, emphasizing the fulfilling of the  Great Commission as stated in Matthew 28:18-20.

Dr. Copley ‘s   education   and   ministry experience, as well as his heart for ministering to those who are struggling in life, show him to be well equipped for the ministries into which God has placed him.  The Lord has truly blessed him and gifted him for the ministries of Brownsburg Baptist Church.

Youth Pastor Drew Inskeep
and Amber Inskeep

Drew Inskeep joined the staff of Brownsburg Baptist Church in March 2009. Drew graduated from Pensacola Christian College in 2008. His desire is to show young people that there is joy in serving the Lord Jesus Christ. God has called Drew into Youth Ministry, and it is his desire to serve the Lord in this capacity. His ministry verse is Acts 20:24, "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."

Drew met his wife, Amber, while at Pensacola Christian College. After they were married in February 2009, they answered the Lord's call to minister and serve at Brownsburg Baptist Church. They want to see the next generation give their lives to the Lord to make a difference for Him. They want to approach the ministry as an honor that the Lord has given them to reach young people for Christ while doing it all for God's glory.

Bro. Drew Inskeep recognizes that our youth are the future leaders of the church and has a heart to reach out to the youth of our community as well. He desires to lead by example and teach our teens to follow hard after God, to meditate upon His Word, and to determine how to answer and handle life situations and temptations, using godly principles, before they are confronted with them. He encourages our teens to be servants in the church, and provides opportunities for them to use their talents for the glory of God.
