Our Pastor is Andrew J. Rusnacko, a man who was born and raised in the Cleveland area. Preceding this ministry he had been an Associate Pastor at Lakeland Baptist Temple in Eastlake, Ohio; previous to that, he had taught at a Christian school in Florida, graduated from the Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, as well as served in various other areas of Christian work. Drawing from these experiences, the Lord led him to start and pastor this church. The first service of Bible Baptist Temple was held on May 6, 1979, and with the Lord providing, have been meeting ever since.
