Pastor Lee began his ministry with us in July, 2000. Besides preaching God's Word in an energetic manner, he and his wife. Barbara. have consistently demonstrated their love for the Lord and for each member of our congregation in many ways They encourage each person to seek God's will in their life and for each member of Calvary Baptist to understand and carry out God's commands found in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and in Christ's Great Commandment of love (Matthew 22:37-39).

Pastor Lee and Barbara have brought to CBC a rich background in service to our Lord from both their missionary experience and pastoral duties. Ordained in 1964, Pastor Lee served as Associate Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Pleasantville, N.J. for one year before serving on the mission field. For the next twenty six years, he and Barbara served in Brazil, planting and developing six different churches, teaching, lecturing and still finding time to raise four children. Three of these are now married and have become the parents of the Thompson's eight grandchildren.

Upon returning from the field, Pastor Lee served for eight years as Senior Pastor of Brookdale Baptist Church in Bloomfield N.J. before joining us here at Calvary Baptist.

Pastor Lee holds a B.A. in Biblical Literature from Northeastern Bible College and a Master in Ministry from Bible Baptist Seminary.
