Meet The Pastor
Pastor Gary L. Freeman
Our Pastor is Gary L. Freeman. He was born, April 28, 1953, and raised near Brodheadsville, PA. He grew up in a Christian home with both parents who were saved. His father, Paul L. Freeman, pastored several churches while our Pastor grew up. At the age of eleven, Pastor accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour with his father at his bedside late one night. He graduated from Emmaus High School in 1971 and then attended Pillsbury Baptist Bible College, Owatonna, MN and graduated in 1975. For three summers he was in the "Preacher Boy Program" at the Calvary Baptist Church, Lansdale, PA under the direction of Dr. E.R. Jordan. In 1976, the Pastor and his father felt led to start an independent Baptist church in the Allentown/Bethlehem, PA area. This church was named Bethlehem Bible Church, then Fundamental Bible Church and finally the Race Street Baptist Church located in Catasauqua, a suburb of Allentown.
