Rev. Paul Gant - Senior Pastor
Pastor
Paul Gant is the Senior Pastor of Sea Road Church. He grew up
in
South Portland, Maine, and studied at Gordon College where he majored
in Biblical and Theological Studies (B.A.). From there Paul
continued to pursue his calling to vocational ministry and earned his
Master of Divinity (M.Div.) from Gordon-Conwell Theological
Seminary. Following his education, Paul received the
opportunity
to serve on staff for a two-year internship as the Assistant Pastor of
Youth and Family at Stroudwater Christian Church in Portland,
Maine. In the summer of 2009, following the two-year internship, Paul received the call to serve at Sea Road Church as the Associate Pastor. During this time Paul worked alongside the Senior Pastor, Ken Hartwick, who was battling cancer at the time. For the next 18 months Pastor Ken played a pivotal and influential role in Pastor Paul’s life as a great mentor and friend. In November of 2010, upon the recommendation of Pastor Ken, the Elders, and Sea Road Church, Paul was unanimously voted to become the Senior Pastor of Sea Road Church.
Following the installation service, Pastor Ken gave the charge to Pastor Paul and on November 24th, 2010 Pastor Ken went home to be with the Lord. Paul says, “I will never forget the incredible role and impact that Ken has played in my life preparing me for ministry. And even more importantly, I will never forget the way in which Ken always cared more about the condition of my soul, then the success of my ministry. I only hope to continue the mission and vision that Ken has built into Sea Road Church and to see this church grow and prosper, bearing much fruit for the Kingdom, and bringing glory to God.”
