Pastor Richard Vieldhouse

Pastor V was born and raised in the Laceyville, PA area where he attended and  later joined the Braintrim Baptist Church.  In that church he was ordained in 1982.  He and Kathy were married in 1981 and God has gifted them with four lovely daughters who have blessed them with 5 grandsons.  This Institute, in part, fulfills a “retirement” calling which is based on Psalm 71.18 “Even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, while I proclaim your power to another generation, and Your strength to all who are to come.”
