INTRODUCING DR. JAMES CHESTER

I would like to introduce the Reformed blog world to my beloved Pastor: Dr. James H. Chester.

Dr. Chester has been pastoring Orthodox Zion Primitive Baptist Church (OZPBC) in West Palm Beach, FL for over 20 years and is a devout adherer to the doctrines of the Reformed faith.

Dr. Chester received his Masters and Doctorate from KNOX Seminary, and is a very active member of the East Florida Primitive Baptist Association, serving most recently as its Treasurer. Dr. Chester has a unique gift of delivering the truths of God's Word in a way that captivates even the youngest listener of the congregation. And all the time while being authoritative and convicting through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I have known Dr. Chester since my time at KNOX Seminary (I was getting my Masters while he was getting his Doctorate), and I can tell you that when you speak to him, you will find that he is not only a very educated man, but one who is very approachable and passionate about the calling that God has given him. Without question, Dr. Chester has a passion to see the African-American Church return back to its Reformed roots, and I am personally thrilled to not only have him as a boss, but also as a very good friend.

Thank You Dr. Chester for being a man who is not afraid to declare the truth of Christ despite the opposition it may bring, both in the world and in the church.
