Meet The Pastor
Pastor Jim Bellin
Pastor Jim Bellin
I was raised Roman Catholic which provided me with the fundamentals of Christianity; but, my new life in Christ Jesus came though a Protestant pastor. As a young Christian I studied God’s word with passion and zeal which remains to this day. By the time God called me to pastor and plant a church I was on my second career.
From an early age I had passion for music. I began private study in jazz/rock guitar and performed for many years; this was my first career. Eventually I returned to college and completed a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science at the University of Delaware. I've worked in this my second career for twenty years. God continued to move in my heart over the years as I grew in faith. Then in 2004 God called me to pastor and plant a church. I entered seminary and graduated with a Masters in Practical Theology from Regent University in 2008.
My preaching style is biblical and practical; teaching biblical principles that people can use in real life. I don’t spend time telling stories nor do I use pop-psychology; I simply preach the Word of God. It’s my belief that spiritual transformation comes through the hearing of God’s word, which has the power to pierce the heart and renew the mind.
Pastor’s Pledge
I pledge to establish a personal witness and relationship with Jesus, to teach and preach biblical principles necessary for salvation, preserving and propagating the word of God.
I acknowledge the Bible as the infallible truth and divine authority which bears witness to my faith. I pledge to train and equip members of DPF for ministry in God’s Kingdom. To nourish and protect them while cultivating a fellowship of love and compassion for all people. I pledge to make disciples for Jesus Christ; helping them make their calling and election sure.
