Collins Glenn, Pastor Emeritus
Dr. Collins Glenn professed faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior while he was a young boy. In 1955, at the age of 21, he answered the call of God and surrendered his life to serve as a minister of the Gospel. Soon after, Pastor Glenn left his sales profession and prepared to preach, enrolling at Bob Jones University where he received his B.A. (’60). An honorary Doctor of Divinity from San Francisco Baptist Theological Seminary was awarded him in 1976.
In 1964 Pastor Glenn moved his family to Indianapolis where he accepted the pastorate of Joy Baptist Church. Three years later, he candidated here at GBC and, in February 1967, became our pastor.
Pastor Glenn has authored the Dispensational Home Bible Study Evangelistic Program, used widely by churches throughout the U.S. and around the world.
He currently serves as interim pastor of Temple Baptist Church, Dunkirk, Ind., and as a board member of Baptist World Mission and the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International. He long has been associated with the Indiana Fundamental Baptist Fellowship, Advance America, and is a former president of the Indiana Association of Christian Schools.
He and his wife Duriene have two children, each of whom are in full-time ministry. The Glenns have seven grandchildren.
On February 5, 2012, Dr. Glenn retired as our senior pastor, having completed 45 years of ministry at Grace Baptist Church, and became Pastor Emeritus.
Widely regarded as an exceptional Bible teacher, he is available for pulpit supply, missions conferences, prophecy seminars, and five-day dispensational studies for churches and schools. Those needing scheduling and other information are invited to call the church office at (765) 288-9569.
