[1 John 1:5]
“God is light; In him there is no darkness...”
As believers in Christ and through the Holy Spirit, we are committed to joyfully share the gospel of Jesus Christ with all people through evangelism, outreach, and missions; to equip believers for ministries in our church, our community, and throughout the world; and to provide opportunities for worship, Bible study, discipleship, stewardship, service, and fellowship.

Joyfully Sharing Christ

Meet Pastor Rick Shaw
and his wife Martha Shaw

Richard W. “Rick” Shaw, a native New Mexican, graduate of Baylor University (BS & BA), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MM), Wayland Baptist University (MBA), and Asbury Theological Seminary (PhD), accepted the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of seven, and surren-dered to the Gospel ministry at nine.
Rick met his wonderful wife, Martha, a native of New Jersey, while at Baylor, and they married in 1983. Rick and Martha were both or-dained at Gloucester Point—Rick to the pastoral ministry and Martha to the diaconate. Rick and Martha surrendered to global mission ser-vice in 1995, and became some of the early missionary appointees of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, serving in Albania, Macedonia, and Kosovo as church-planters, strategists, and evangelists among Muslim peoples.
Rick and Martha are both avid readers, cooks and bakers and they have four adult children. Martha loves video games, Rick is a triathlete, and thrives on camping, hunting, sewing, and travel.
