Rev. Huffaker To Speak at Pastor's Advance

Rev. Bob Huffaker will be the featured speaker at this year's Pastor's Advance to be held May 6th-8th at Pinecrest Camp and Conference Center. Dr. Huffaker was raised on a farm in Grassland, Texas, a small farming community. He attended a small country church of around 50 people through his high school years. After graduation from Bethany Nazarene College in 1962 with a degree in Religion, he re-opened the Nazarene Church in Clarendon, Texas, which had been closed for ten years. On his first Sunday, there were only eight people in attendance. He subsequently pastored churches in Texas and Arkansas before coming to Grove City in 1989. Dr. Huffaker has pastored every size church – from eight to OVER 3000. He pastored Grove City Church of the Nazarene for 16 years (1989-2005). During that time, attendance increased from 600 to 3000 in morning worship
