My name is <\/span>Brian Mullins<\/b>, and I serve as the <\/span>Pastor of Hobart Baptist Church<\/span>. I have been here since October 2019.\u00a0 I love this role because being used by God to help people is an amazing privilege. As an Undershepherd who speaks the words of God to His people, I view the role of preacher\/pastor as a sacred trust. It is the will of God that people be fed His word. I see it as a great privilege to be chosen by Him to that task.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019ve been involved in ministry for 28 years. My background includes computer administration, and teaching. I was called by God to begin preaching in 2003. He sent me to Seminary in 2004, and I began pastoring in 2005.\u00a0 I graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007 with a Master of Divinity, with Biblical Languages, and a Concentration in Education. I preach expository sermons, going verse by verse through books of the Bible. Occasionally I preach topics when appropriate, but the sermon is still expository, not my opinions. My preaching philosophy is, \u201cIf I don\u2019t preach the Bible, then I have nothing of value to say.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Outside of church, I have been married to my wife, Melisa, since 1982.\u00a0 We have one beautiful daughter, one fantastic son-in-law, and one happy grandson.\u00a0 In my free time I enjoy learning guitar, song writing, and wood working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One verse of Scripture that encourages me is Romans 10:11 \u2014 \u201cFor the Scripture says, whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
