Pastor Jerry Minor has served Riverside since October 1989, soon after graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary<\/a> (MDiv 1989) in Ft. Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

Jerry has been married to his wife Barbara since June 1978. Jerry and Barbara have two children and six grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Jerry grew up as an “Army brat”, but went to High School in El Paso, Texas, Barbara’s hometown. He is also a US Army veteran, having served on active duty in Ft. Knox, Kentucky and Taegu, Korea. His military career ended as a result of a tank accident at Ft. Hood while serving with the Texas Army National Guard.<\/p>\n

Jerry has been a follower of Christ Jesus since July 1972. \u00a0As he continues to follow Christ he is reminded of the words of John Newton, author of “Amazing Grace”:<\/p>\n

“I am not what I ought to be \u2014 ah, how imperfect and deficient! I am not what I wish to be \u2014 I abhor what is evil, and I would cleave to what is good! I am not what I hope to be \u2014 soon, soon shall I put off mortality, and with mortality all sin and imperfection. Yet, though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say, I am not what I once was; a slave to sin and Satan; and I can heartily join with the apostle, and acknowledge, ‘By the grace of God I am what I am’.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
