Tommy Sarber

FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:

ELDER TOMMY SARBER

I was born in Elkhart County, Indiana, on June 5, 1953, the son of Elder & Mrs. Elias Sarber. My mother passed away in 1962. My father is now 86 years old and still active in the church.

I first felt the blessings of the Lord at about 14 years of age. I united withTippecanoe Church and was baptized by my father on July 2, 1967.

In 1973, I met the love of my life Sister Nancy Hall from Danville, Georgia. We were married on June 30, 1973, at Pleasant Plains Church near Danville. We have been blessed to have three daughters and two sons born in our family.

I was ordained to the ministry in December of 1974 at Tippecanoe Church near Bourbon, Indiana. From 1973 until 1977, we lived in northern Indiana and labored among the churches in that area. In 1977, I felt the burden to move to central Georgia and remained in that area until 1991. I served Mt. Horeb Church near Cochran and Adriel Church in Hawkinsville for most of the years we spent in that area. I also served Mt. Zion Church at Gray, Bethel Church at Dublin, and Mt. Olive Church atUnadilla. Our membership was with Pleasant Plains Church near Danville.

In 1991, I was impressed to move back to Indiana to labor among the churches where I was born and raised. Our membership is at Pilgrim's Rest Church near Etna Green. I am presently pastoring there and at Tippecanoe. I have also served Fort Wayne Church in Fort Wayne, Providence Church near Nappanee, and Wabash Church near Huntington during this period.

UPDATE: June 2012 Tommy Sarber is currently the pastor of Tidewater Primitive Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia.
