Pastoral Team

Pastor Jason Ormiston serves as the Senior Pastor of Family Baptist Church. He has a heart for making disciples of all nations by intentionally investing in the next generation of servant-leaders. Pastor Jason enjoys preaching God’s Word and is passionate about evangelism, discipleship, and seeing the Great Commission lived out through faithful obedience to the Great Commandment.

Pastor Jason came to know Christ at a young age, professing faith in Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior at the age of six. He was blessed to grow up in a strong Christian home where his parents consistently encouraged him to walk closely with God. At sixteen, Pastor Jason sensed God’s calling on his life and surrendered to pursue full-time vocational ministry.

Over the past twenty-five years, Pastor Jason has been involved in three church plants. Two of these churches—Family Baptist Church and All Nations Baptist Church—started in the heart of inner-city Minneapolis, Minnesota. The third, Palmetto Baptist Church, is located in Easley, South Carolina. In addition to church planting, Pastor Jason served on the Bible faculty at Bob Jones University from 2007 to 2021 before returning to Minnesota in the summer of 2021 to serve as Senior Pastor of Family Baptist Church.

Pastor Jason holds a BA in Pastoral Ministries from Northland Baptist Bible College, an MA in Biblical Studies and an MDiv from Central Baptist Theological Seminary, and a DMin in Urban Ministries from Westminster Theological Seminary.

Pastor Jason and his wife Heather are blessed with six children and four grandchildren: Heidi, Maddy, Isabelle, Elijah, Judah, and Silas. Heidi and her husband, Jonathan, have two sons, Henry and George, and Maddy and her husband Travis have two daughters, Eden and Evangeline. Elijah is currently playing professional basketball overseas, and Isabelle recently graduated from college and serves alongside the youth ministry at the church. Judah and Silas are still in school and live at home with their parents. Outside of ministry, Pastor Jason enjoys watching his sons play basketball, spending time at local coffee shops with his wife and daughter, and reading books.

Pastor Lee Ormiston serves as Pastor Emeritus and brings over 30 years of faithful ministry experience. His journey to Christ began after hearing the gospel clearly explained by an evangelist and his sister-in-law, which led him to purchase a Bible and begin memorizing Scripture. Though he initially tried to convince himself that he was already a Christian, God continued to work in his heart. At the strong encouragement of their neighbors, Lee and his wife Pam attended a marriage conference where they were challenged to reflect on how God was at work in their marriage and in their personal lives. Through prayer and honest conversation, they both recognized their need for Christ. In a moment of humble surrender, they knelt together by their bed and committed their marriage and lives fully to the Lord, grounded in passages such as Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:9, and Ephesians 2:8–10.

Pastor Lee holds a Master’s degree from Central Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Northland Baptist Bible College. He is especially passionate about evangelism, discipleship, and preaching, and is continually encouraged by Scripture, including 2 Corinthians 5:9, Galatians 2:20, and Isaiah 26:3 and 41:10.

Pastor Lee and Pam have been richly blessed with six children, 25 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Outside of ministry, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing guitar, and trading options.

Pastor Dan Bradley serves as Recovery and Outreach Pastor and brings 35 years of ministry experience. His life was radically changed by God’s grace after years of addiction and brokenness. At a point when he felt hopeless and convinced there was no way God could forgive the life he had lived, the Lord intervened in a powerful way. While in a treatment center, Pastor Dan was preparing to leave, overwhelmed by guilt and shame. That evening, a friend’s father, Dick Denny, visited and shared the gospel with him, reminding Pastor Dan of the truth found in 1 John 1:9—that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. After that conversation, Pastor Dan returned to his room, knelt beside his bed, and cried out to the Lord for salvation. In that moment of complete surrender, he experienced a peace he had never known before, and by God’s grace, he was born again.

Pastor Dan has completed various seminary courses and has also devoted many years to self-study. He is especially passionate about Bikers for Christ, inner-city outreach, and recovery ministries, using his own testimony to point others to the hope found in Christ. His faith continues to be anchored by Psalm 121.

Pastor Dan and his wife Geri are blessed with four children—Erin, Katie, Josh, and Shawn—and eight grandchildren: Rylan, Addi, Skyler, Levi, Elijah, Giovanni, Harrison, and Olivia. Outside of ministry, Pastor Dan enjoys motorcycles, fishing, and hunting.
