What is your ministry?

I have the primary pastoral responsibilities of my church, including regular preaching, meeting with people, and praying with them.

When did you trust Christ?

I grew up in a Christian household, with the gospel of Jesus Christ being taught to me from a very young age. However, I didn't understand it until 2010. At that time, I was going through a rebellious stage in my life, and my parents sent me to a Christian camp. During that camp, I noticed people praying and reading their bibles, so I figured I couldn't be worse than them. I also took my Bible to read. While reading Hebrews, I understood the gravity of my sin and the greatness of Christ's death on the cross for me. After I came to that understanding, I asked God to forgive my sins based on what Christ did for me.

What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?

My mom died one year after I got saved, and that time formed my trust in the Lord. I also was fighting sin for much of my life, and during the most challenging times, I had to put my final trust in the finished work of the cross. I keep growing in my understanding of God and his grace by studying the Bible and making time for prayer. I've also grown by attending the Baptist seminary in Warsaw, Poland.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

I want to grow in more wisdom for serving the church. Hopefully, I will get in contact with future ministry partners.

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

I've been a youth leader in the Baptist church in Wejherowo from 2015 to 2019. I served on the board of the Baptist church in Wejherowo from 2017 to 2019. I've been a pastoral intern at First Baptist Church in Warsaw from 2019-2022. I was an associate pastor at First Baptist Church in Warsaw from 2022-2023.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

Even though I serve as a pastor already, I have much to learn and want to know, hopefully for the benefit of the church.
