Leadership

Pastor Twigg is a native of North Carolina. God burdened him to start a church in Holly Springs not far from where he grew up in the triangle area. His preparation includes earning a Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. Pastor Twigg looks forward to seeing what God will do in this second church ministry he has helped to establish. Our Pastor’s nineteen years of experience include serving God in all aspects of the ministry. His doctoral dissertation focused on building right relationships with God and others. He desires to continue to develop that focus in the lives of all individuals and families that attend Shadow Ridge Baptist Church.

Pastor’s wife, Jane, is from Normal, Illinois. She is a school librarian, and loves to read and encourage others to do the same. They have three teenage children, Seth, Sarah, and Stephen. The children sing, play the piano, and Sarah also plays the violin. Jane and Pastor Twigg met in 1989 when she volunteered to work in a children’s Sunday School class with about fifty second graders. They also worked together with a singles group of about 180. Later, they worked in a church that ministered to the American military stationed at NATO Headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany for two summers. Jane serves now in our children’s ministries, and also plays the piano for Shadow Ridge Baptist Church.
