Frank Termine
Pastor
“My passion is to see people come to Jesus Christ as their Savior and then grow closer to Him on a daily basis. I love to see people take their Next Step in their Christianity. I strive to teach the Bible (what God has to say to us), not teach from the Bible (use the text to prove what I want to say). Part of my preaching style is to teach you how to study the Bible for yourself and to become a Berean (Acts 17:11). I study to learn more about the Bible so I can teach it, but I also spend a lot of time meeting people and reading about life today so my preaching can be relevant to your daily life challenges.”
Pastor Frank began as our Pastor in December, 2007. He previously served at Fishkill Baptist Church from 2003-2007. He graduated from Biblical Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity Degree in May, 2003. Prior to becoming a pastor, Frank was a successful businessman in the chemical water treatment business. He served in various roles, including several executive positions in a Fortune 500 Company. He earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from Clarkson University and an MBA in Marketing from Temple University. “Although I grew up in Rochester, NY, I spent the majority of my life in Philadelphia where I became and remain a die-hard Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers fan, and an occasional 76-ers fan. I now enjoy University of Hartford and UConn sports.” Pastor Frank has been married to Karen since 1977 and they have three adult daughters; he enjoys hiking and camping.
