Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen, Jr., is senior pastor at Falls Baptist Church in Menomonee Falls. Under his leadership, several hundred members have been trained to serve the Lord and are engaged in ministry. He also started Falls Baptist Academy High School and Baptist College of Ministry & Theological Seminary to train the next generation of laborers for the harvest field. He’s the speaker on the radio broadcasts, The Bible Stands and On to Victory, and this week is celebrating 40 years of ministry on VCY and also at this church.
At VCY America, our main purpose in bringing glory to God, is “to serve as a resource for and extension of the Church of Jesus Christ, God’s chosen agency, partnering with local churches in reaching the lost, edifying the body of Christ, and advancing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by every biblically legitimate and effective means.”
God ordained the establishment, the work and the ministry of the local church. Many times on our Friday News Roundup we have stated that the Lord’s Day is coming and trust you’ll be in a Bible-believing, Bible teaching local church. It’s important we do that even as the writer of Hebrews stated, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Indeed, believers in Christ are to come together in worship and glorifying God, in using the talents and gifts He has blessed us with, in encouraging believers, and in giving to support the ministry and outreach of the church.
It is the Lord who equips pastors as Ephesians 4:11 states, “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:”
The Apostle Paul warned Timothy that in the last days, perilous time would come. After he described those times he told Timothy to preach the Word. However today, there are a growing number of churches that are abandoning the sound teaching of the Word in order to keep people in the church.
This Crosstalk will introduce you to Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen, Jr., who is taking his call to the ministry seriously and is actively engaged in preaching the Word and in making disciples, those who will follow the Lord. Listen to learn how he came to ministry for Christ, his passion within that, how radio has impacted his ministry, what people should look for when choosing a church, how he (from Scripture) defines worship, the role of the church in such a time as this, and much more.
