He then transferred to Fellowship Baptist College in Mooresville, IN in January of 2014. In December of that year Zach and Breanna were married. Zach graduated from FBCI in May of 2016, with a Bachelor’s degree in Bible. The Lord used several mission trips and internships during their time in college to prepare him and Breanna for ministry. For the next three and a half years after college, Zach served as the Assistant Pastor at Faithway Baptist Church in Greenfield, IN under Pastor Josh Poole. It was while serving there that the Lord opened the door for him to candidate for the pastoral position at Park Gate Baptist Church. Though it was through difficult circumstances, as the previous pastor of ten years had just passed away after battling cancer, the Lord’s leading was clear. The Fry’s moved from Indiana back to Pennsylvania and Zach became the pastor of Park Gate in July of 2019. Pastor Zach and his family are thrilled to be serving here in Ellwood City and desire to see continued church growth as they seek to please the Lord with their lives.
