History of Ken Silva’s church:

Southeastern Grad follows God’s call to New Hampshire

“Hedgpeth was awakened by an early morning phone call from Alvin Reid. Reid, Southeastern’s Bailey Smith Chair of Evangelism professor, was calling from Claremont, N.H., to ask Hedgpeth to come preach June 8 during the first worship service at the new Connecticut River Baptist Church. . . . More than 40 people, not including those from Southeastern, were in attendance. Two people made professions of faith and five others rededicated their lives to Christ. And so was born the first of 50 Southern Baptist churches planned for New Hampshire.”

Here is Ken Silva’s version:

“I am also pastor of Connecticut River Baptist Church (CRBC), which is a small church of about 8 members that is currently meeting in the home of one of our members. This church was once a fellowship of some 100 members in the 80’s that had shrunk to 13 or so by the time I was called a little over a year ago [c. 2004]” (KEN SILVA, “A Humble Appeal,” Oct 1, 2005, apprising.org).

“CRBC had gone through a nasty split before they called me to pastor about 2 years ago and since the 80’s it had dwindled from some 100+ down to a Sunday morning coffee social gathering of about 13 by then” (KEN SILVA, “An Interesting First year for AM,” July 15, 2006, apprising.org).

Some pointed out that Ken’s church did not start until 1997 so could not have had 100 people in the 8o’s. Ken stated righteously back, “All I did was repeat information given me when I became pastor, whatever error may be involved would be contained therein.”  (http://christianresearchnetwork.info/submissions-2/  comment #332)

I admire Ken Silva and how his church has grown. I decided to start keeping track of its progress. He has been working hard at discipling and growing his church for a few years now.

Here’s to his success!
