Dr. Lee Ormiston
Pastor EMERITUS
Pastor Lee was the Founding Pastor of Family Baptist Church and now continues to serve as an associate pastor at FBC. He is also a Chairman of the Baptist Mid-Missions Foundation and has been part of the Elected Counsel of Baptist Mid-Missions for over 20 years.
Pastor Lee received his Bachelor in Science in Mechanical Engineering from North Dakota State University, a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Central Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Sacred Ministries from Northland International University. He is an adjunct professor at Bob Jones University and Central Baptist Seminary.
Pastor Lee was saved at 27 as a result of the faithful witness of his sister-in-law. At age 40, he left an executive management position to pursue seminary training. Although Pastor Lee had intended to invest himself in a ministry to corporate executives, God deeply burdened both him and his wife, Pam, for people overwhelmed by the challenges of living in an urban environment.
They relocated to a neighborhood near Family Baptist Church with the goal of providing biblical hope for men and women of all ages struggling with life-dominating sin and shambled lives.
Lee and Pam are the proud parents of six adult children and twenty-five grandchildren living around the globe.
