My name is Lee Michael Grzywinski. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, Jenine, and three daughters, Olivia, Isabella, and Emma. We live in New Jersey, where I have been entrusted by God to pastor Montclair Community Church. By His grace, my entire family loves and is committed to serving Him.

I was raised Roman Catholic, but did not know God. God called me to Him in my late twenties, and very quickly called me to the ministry of the Word. Though I was attending a very fundamentalist Baptist church that held to an Arminian theology, as I grew in faith and knowledge, God opened my eyes to see, and my heart to love, the Doctrines of Grace. In God’s time, I was called to my first pastorate at a church that was both Baptist and Reformed, where I was bi-vocational for seven years.

I wanted to further my education, but because of where God had Jenine and me – three children, a house, responsibilities at jobs and in the church – receiving the education I needed and so desperately wanted seemed out of reach. But God is only ever good. Reformed Baptist Seminary was an answer to prayer. That God provided such wonderful teachers and such a quality education that both fit into our budget and offered a flexible study schedule was confirmation that God wanted me to pursue my Master of Divinity.

In 2017, our church closed, and God led me and my family to Montclair Community Church. Through a series of unforeseen (by me, not God!) events, I was called by them to be their full-time pastor in 2020. Now, as I complete my degree and serve my church, I see the sovereign hand of God at work. He has used so many people and so many circumstances to place me exactly where I belong. RBS, and especially Dr. Gonzales, have been an important part of that. RBS has been a mighty instrument in God’s hand!

I praise God for all He has done: for giving me the greatest pastor’s wife in the history of the world, for granting my three daughters love for Him, for my church, and for giving me an education that will help me glorify Him for years to come. In whatever ways I may be profitable to my Lord Jesus Christ through my ministry, it will be fruit that increases to the credit of those God has used to equip and support me, and that includes RBS.

To God be the glory!
Lee
