On Easter Sunday March 31, 1986, the members of Oxbow extended a call to me to become their pastor. It has been a blessing to work with the members and friends in this fine congregation.

During the past 23 years God has blessed in many ways by adding many fine families to our number. Also in the purchasing and paying for an additional 2 1/2 acres of property which gives us 6 acres, a new 200 seat auditorium with fellowship hall in the basement and Sunday School rooms, and the remodeling of our old building. Many souls have been saved and baptized and added to the membership of Oxbow.

It is a joy to be your pastor and friend to worship, study, work and play with those whom God has led to be a part of Oxbow Lake Baptist Church.

May God continue to bless us and bond us together in His love and mercy as we endeavor to carry out the Great Commission in our community to the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sincerely your pastor and Friend,

Wayne DeVerna

Pastor
