Michael Pickett is pastor of Old Paths Strict Baptist Church in Choteau, Montana. He also manages Gospel Mission Books, which is a unique bookstore that publishes many titles which otherwise would be lost to Christianity, emphasizing the old writers whose valued labors have been an inspiration to many. Many years ago, through the providence of God, Michael was led to where the Gospel was faithfully preached under the ministry of Pastor B.A. Ramsbottom and was brought to clearly see the doctrines of grace. This eventually led to his joining the Church and later to a remarkable entry into the ministry. He came from England six years ago, after pastoring for 12 years at a similar Baptist Church. He was made willing to leave his family, church and friends, and to take on the challenge of spreading the Gospel by mouth and the written Word in this country and throughout the world.

Tony has been pastoring CrossPointe Community Church in St. Joseph, MO since its beginning over 25 years ago. The church began through a Bible study led by his father in Oregon, MO. As the group grew into a church, Tony became its pastor. Since then, he and his servant-hearted wife, Melanie, have been serving faithfully as they raise their two children. Tony's passion is that in his expository preaching sermons, week after week, year after year, Christ would be held up as supreme, as God's great Son and King, the focal point and the goal of all history.
