Gabe Raffa- Pastor

I was born outside of Philadelphia into a Christian family and came to know Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior as a child. My dad entered the ministry, as a senior pastor in Cleveland, Ohio  when I was eight years old. I grew in his church helping teach and develop ministries over the years. I attended Pensacola Christian College (91-92) and this is where I met my wife Randi. I transfered to Tennessee Temple University and continued my univeristy training (94-97). I served as youth pastor and assitant pastor for three churches beginning in 1998. I came to First Baptist Beech Grove in June 2005 as the Administrative Pastor (Associate Pastor) and in May 2010 I became the Senior Pastor of our church.

Some of my favorite things:   I enjoy watching sports, Snickers candy bars, Peach Snapple,  golfing and hanging out with my family. I am especially fond of Chinese Buffets.
