Our Pastors
Rev. Patrick O. Lindsey, Senior Pastor
Rev. Patrick assumed the pastorate of the Greater Bibleway Missionary Baptist Church in June 1992, when he succeeded the late Rev. C.J. Henderson, who served Greater Bibleway faithfully until his retirement. In his pastoral ministry, Pastor Lindsey places a high priority on biblical preaching and teaching, along with practical application of scriptural principles. In addition to his pastoral duties, Rev. Patrick is also currently employed with Wayne State University as Vice President, Government & Community Affairs. Most importantly, Rev. Patrick is a family man. He married his wife Kathy Lindsey, on April 4, 1992, and God rewarded their union with two wonderful children: a son, Kendall, and a daughter, Kaylyn. The family resides in Detroit and enjoys spending time together – reading, traveling, bicycling, and worshipping and serving the Lord.
