G. Victor Perry strives to always honor Christ. His desire is to know the perfect will of God and to be found in the center of it. He believes he is to present Christ to those around him, both as a witness to the unsaved and a help for believers to come closer to Christ.
Always a student of the Word, Pastor Perry has attended Glen Cove Bible College (which has since closed), and received a Bachelor of Theology degree from Atlantic College. He has also earned Master of Theology and Doctor of Theology degrees from Atlantic Baptist College & Seminary.
Pastor Perry has participated in many Christian ministries. His first pastorate was at South Newburg Christian Church, located in Newburg, Maine. Since then, he has been pastor at Hauserville Chapel in East Stroudsburg, PA; First Baptist Church of Fernwood in Pulaski, NY, where he was ordained in 1974; and Broadalbin Baptist Church in Broadalbin, NY. In 1984 he came to East Lawrence Baptist Church, where he has served the Lord faithfully ever since.
Pastor Perry has also been involved in Christian Education for many years. In the early 1970’s, he helped lay the ground work for the Pocono Christian School, and in 1989 he helped start Tioga County Christian Academy. He has served as both a teacher and bus driver.
Pastor Perry and his wife Deborah were married on June 29, 1968 and have served the Lord together ever since in one capacity or another. They have four grown children, each of whom serves the Lord in some capacity.
