Meet our pastor, Everett Hornbostel. He became our pastor in 2018 and serves part-time with the Dakota Baptist Convention as a Church Relations Missionary. He has training and education in ministry, law enforcement, and security, including a Master of Theological Studies in Church Planting from MBTS and a Master of Corporate Security Leadership from Missouri Baptist University.
Everett is currently working on a project to adapt his Master’s Capstone project, “Evaluating Church Security: Ten Podcasts for a Church Security Team,” into a book format titled “Church Security Basics”. He provides regular content for a column titled “Built and Watched by the Lord” for the Dakota Baptist Convention Newsletter, which primarily focuses on Church Security topics. Everett has also developed an active intruder response for houses of worship using the acronym RISE.
In his free time, he enjoys working on and cruising in the Jeep with Rebecca and their husky, Kota.
