Leader Bio:
The Reverend Dr. Silas M. Townsend is a native of Washington, D.C. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from Milliken University, Decatur, Illinois, and his Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1998, Reverend Townsend earned his Doctorate in Ministry from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. (Now Palmer Seminary)
He retired in 2015 as the Executive Director of the Burlington County Community Action Program after forty years of service. He is a former Adjunct Professor at the Palmer Theological Seminary.
Dr. Townsend has been the Pastor of the St. John Baptist Church since 1982. Under Dr. Townsend’s leadership, the Church built a new edifice and paid off a twenty-five-year mortgage in four years. Under his leadership, the Church also built a youth development center that houses the St. John Day Care Center. St John has 83 ministries that advance the kingdom of God. The Church's ministries provide food and clothing to those in the community and other services to the community. The church also provides meals to the homeless and Senior Saints every Sunday.
St John planted two churches the St John Baptist Church of Pennsauken NJ and the St. John Family Worship Center in Burlington NJ. The Church launched the Light League in 2012. The Light League is a national ministry of teens and young adults who are on fire for Christ! With a center focus on worship, outreach and growing together as disciples the Light League has impacted the lives of hundreds of teens and young adults.
Pastor as we affectionately call him is a humble, compassionate man of God, full of The Spirit.
He works tirelessly on behalf of our young people, supporting programs in local schools and community groups he encourages them to stay in school and always do their best. Pastor is known for his kind manner and generous heart, serving God and His people, helping, guiding and supporting individuals from the joy of baptism to the sorrow of a funeral, and nurturing their spiritual growth.
