WHO WE ARE
BRUCE KOHLER
Senior Pastor
Pastor Bruce Kohler is a Philadelphia and South Jersey guy who has stayed close to home for much of his life. He was ordained in 1984, and has been in pastoral ministry for 38 years. Bruce ministered 6 years in Freehold, New Jersey and the last 32 years at Green Ridge Baptist. His ministry studies have been in the independent Baptist vein with degrees from Midwestern Baptist College, Bethel Baptist College and Andersonville Theological Seminary.
​
The Lord has blessed Bruce with a wonderful wife Toni. Together they have a blended family of 7 married children and many grandchildren.
​
Bruce is Italian and Jewish and was baptized as a baby in the Roman Catholic Church. He was adopted along with his brother and sister, when he was the age of 10 by his stepdad and now carries a German last name.
​
Bruce’s life in Christ began when he trusted the Lord Jesus alone for eternal life and forgiveness of sins at the age of 10, and because of saving faith in Christ, received believer’s baptism at the age of 13.
​
He would like to talk with you about the Lord Jesus Christ Who is our great God and Savior, and is the only One that is full of grace and truth. But in the mean time he reads books; attempts to repair what he breaks, and stills tries to be a work out guy, who doesn’t mind a pizza and wings night and is always welcoming of a Penn State football game or wrestling meet.
​
Bruce’s best loved scriptures are from the New Testament, John chapters 1 and 3.
