Our Pastor
Keith Hilton grew up in a small town in western Maine. He was born into a Christian family and from an early age was taught from the Word of God that his only hope for forgiveness of sin is Jesus Christ alone. As a young boy, he placed his faith in Christ as his Savior and God’s forgiveness became personal.
After graduating from high school, Keith attended Bob Jones University where he graduated with a BA in Bible. Keith met his wife, Marji, while in college and they were married a few months after graduating in 1990. The next seven years were spent serving as youth pastor at South Gardiner Baptist Church and preparing for the mission field. In 1997 Keith, Marji, & their newborn daughter, Jessica, moved to Newfoundland, Canada, as church planters. While in Newfoundland, God blessed Keith and Marji with two sons, Zachary and Jacob, and another daughter, Katelyn. In 2008, God called Keith back to Maine to serve as the senior pastor of South Gardiner Baptist Church.
Keith enjoys spending time with his family, working with his hands, and being in God’s creation, camping, fishing, and hunting.
Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
Romans 15:30

Doctrinal Statement
We firmly believe in: The Bible as the inerrant, inspired Word of God; the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin conception and birth, substitutionary death on the cross, literal bodily resurrection, and imminent return; the forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ alone; and the need for obedience to the commands and principles of the Bible.
