Our Youth Leaders

My name is Paul Pelle.  I am the Youth Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Okemos. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and desire to see students fully embrace Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  I have been married to my best friend Becky since 2002 and have two daughters (Abbi and Ainsley) .  I grew up in Delaware and lived there most of my life until God called Becky and I to minister here at the First Baptist Church of Okemos in Okemos, Michigan.  I am a graduate of Pensacola Christian College and Baptist Bible Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA (Master’s of Divinity Degree).  My wife, Becky is a graduate of the Word of Life Bible Institute and Baptist Bible College. We desire to glorify God by impacting the students we cross paths with to be disciples of Jesus Christ.  Thank you for taking the time to check us out.
