Study Leader

Pastor Frank Denning was born again by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of ten in Vacation Bible School in a Southern Baptist Church in Princeton, North Carolina.  After growing up on a farm and graduating from High School in 1970 he enlisted in the US Army National Guard and served his country for six years.  In 1972 he married his lovely and very supportive wife Susan and they have been blessed with three wonderful children and two grandchildren.  In 1975 at the age of twenty-five he took over his Father’s business of growing flowers for the florist trade and the mass retail market.  After being called by God to Preach in 1980, he has been preaching God’s Word faithfully and has pastored churches in the mountains of North Carolina his entire ministry. 

He studied and graduated from Fruitland Baptist College in Hendersonville, North Carolina with a degree in “Biblical Church Ministry”.  He also took personal studies and was certified under the well-known, late Dr. Steven F. Olford in “Expository Preaching” and “Preaching and Evangelism” at the Institute For Biblical Preaching and pursued other studies as well.  However, his main priority of study has been the time he has spent in prayer and study under God’s teaching.  He has taken what he has learned, taught and preached the Word of God to a vast number of people over the years. 

Pastor Frank states, “As well as having the privilege to preach in North Carolina God has allowed me opportunities to preach evangelistic services in Africa, Brazil, Honduras, and other places also.  I have been blessed to see many come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ which is the greatest joy and the fruit of my labor in the Lord.  Everyone needs to come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, become grounded in His Word, grow to become His faithful disciples and keep winning the lost."
