Dr. Thaddeus Stout - Senior pastor
Let me introduce myself. My name is Thaddeus Stout. I love God's Word and I love God's people. God has called me to passionately preach His Word.
Before my senior year in college I married the love of my life Rachel. She is definitely my better half. She is a talented musician and singer who just so happens to teach Math to High School students. She adds dimensions to the ministry that make our partnership deep and rich. 12th Street Baptist Church is definitely blessed to have her.
The most important ministry in my life is my family. We are blessed with three beautiful daughters: Cayla Marie, Jenna Lynn, and Leah Ann. As a family we enjoy camping, skiing, bowling, softball, golf, and just spending time together. I love being a father; my home is a source of strength and solitude.
I have a master's degree in counseling and a Th.D (which is a doctorate of theology). I have served at two different churches as an assistant/youth pastor. Most recently, before joining 12th Street, I was a senior pastor in Edwardsburg, Michigan for nine years. Coming to Kalamazoo is exciting for my family and me. Joining with 12th Street Baptist Church was an extraordinary opportunity. The building is magnificent, the people are friendly, and there is a deep desire to follow God's Word.
I would like to personally invite you to come see for yourself what a special Church this is.
