Artur Grybek is an elder and provides flexible and strategic leadership for the First Baptist Church in Gdańsk, Poland.
When did you trust Christ?
When I started reading the Bible, I got convicted of my sins and was saved in 1989. Initially, I had no one to disciple me, but then I met some people from the German Baptist Church and later the Gdańsk Baptist Church. I was baptised in 2004.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
Leading home Bible study groups for many years and following godly teachers have impacted my Christian walk the most.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
In our congregation, we see a real need for new Bible study leaders and new study groups—they are life-giving to the church—but right now, there are too few of them. I hope that through this Year-Round Mentoring, I can learn how to invest in others more consciously, encourage emerging leaders, and help foster a multiplying culture of Bible study ministry in our church. What appeals to me about joining this community is the practice with other Bible study leaders and the opportunity to grow intentionally—not only in how I lead and build up my own group, but more importantly in how I can help develop future generations of leaders.
What is your ministry?
I am a Special Task Force Elder at the First Baptist Church in Gdańsk, providing flexible and strategic leadership in areas where I can best support the church’s mission. Though I am not formally ordained as an elder, I have been entrusted by our leadership and congregation with special responsibilities that allow me to serve in ways that align with my gifts and passions.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
In my local church, I have continued to serve as a task force elder, the leader of Humanitarian and Mission Aid to Ukraine, a multimedia leader, and a home Bible study group leader. I am a husband and the father of four children.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
I am seeking to grow and mature as a Christian and further develop my leadership skills.
