Orchards Baptist Church

Mitchell Gibbs
Pastor

Born at St. Joseph Hospital in Lewiston, Idaho. Grew up on a Farm two miles north of Culdesac, Idaho. I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior at the age of 7. After my grandmother’s death I was concerned about what would happen when I died. I knew from Vacation Bible School that I could have eternal life if I repented of my sins and believed in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I believed and received Jesus as my Savior and Lord at that time. The next year I gave my testimony and was baptized in the Clearwater River at the age of 8. My first job was picking rock for my dad. Graduated from Culdesac High School. Go Wolves! Attended; North Idaho Community College, and Lewis Clark State College.
