OUR PASTOR
Russell Boone is our pastor. He has a wife (Tammy) and 3 boys (Philip, Andrew, James). Pastor
Russ was born in Anchorage, Alaska and was raised in Bangor, Maine. He was converted and later
baptized at the age of 20 while under the ministry of Pastor Ron Bean of Grace Bible Church in
Bangor. As a child he grew up in independent Baptist churches and attended Christian schools.
After high school graduation, he attended Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, New York, for
the 1-year Bible program. It was shortly after this that he first truly received Christ as Savior. After
being born again, he moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to attend Baptist Bible Institute (a ministry of
Wealthy Park Baptist Church). In Michigan, he met Tammy, and about a year later they were
married. They moved to Warren, Maine, where they worked in Calvary Baptist Church and attended
Calvary Bible Institute. From Maine they moved to Santa Monica, California to work in Bible Baptist
Church under the ministry of Pastor Ross Hodsdon. Russ served as assistant pastor for about 5
years, after which he became the senior pastor.
Tammy Boone was born in Elgin, Illinois and was raised in Beckley, West Virginia. For several years
she attended and served in Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. She attended Appalachian Bible College and
Grand Rapids Baptist College (later renamed Cornerstone University). While at Grand Rapids
