Pastors

Pastor Dave Johnston

Pastor Dave Johnston began his ministry at Bible Fellowship Church in September of 1984. He is a graduate of Cedarville College (now university) and Grace Theological Seminary. He met his wife Lori, while teaching high school Bible classes at Calvert Christian School in Prince Fredrick, MD. Together they have three grown children who live out of state. While the Johnston’s miss their children, they have had the joy of seeing each of them brought to faith in Jesus Christ. Pastor Dave has also had the joy of seeing the church progress in Reformation. From its roots in Arminian theology, the congregation grew to become a Reformed Baptist church. The Second London Baptist Confession was formally adopted as the church’s statement of faith in 1993. May Pastor and the people continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of the glory of God.
