BRO MALCOM ELLIS

BRO MALCOM ELLIS

Forty-three years of ministry and God continues to faithfully and lovingly guide us along the
path that He has perfectly laid out. His goodness continues to overwhelm us as we bask in His wisdom. In May of 2024 He led us away from Ebenezer Baptist Church in Jasper,Tx., where we had been serving for the previous five years. At the time, we had no idea where He was taking us and what the future would hold, but we obeyed as best we knew.
In November of 2024 God called us to Hillcrest Baptist Church in Jasper, Tx., to serve as Interim Pastor. He knit our hearts to the congregants, and on January 26th of 2025 they extended an invitation for me to become their Senior Pastor, and I accepted. Nancy and I look with great anticipation to what God has planned as we partner together in ministry with this body of believers. The church has graciously agreed to allow me to continue the conference ministry to which I feel called, but apart from the few conferences that I will be involved with, I will be serving full-time at the church. God is gracious and kind to allow us to continue in His service.
