Paul Christensen

FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:
-
Allen Paul Christensen was born in Ray County near Excelsior Springs, MO, July 14, 1922, the son of Henry and Alice (Smith) Christensen. He was the 6th of 7children born in this family. In November of 1942 he was called to serve in the U.S. Army Air force and did so until February 1946, when he was honorably discharged.

-
When he was 21 years old he married his high school sweetheart Vivian Lorraine O'Dell on May 27, 1942, in Reno, Nevada, and have been married for 48 years. They were blessed with one son, Brian Paul Christensen.

-
Paul was reared in a Primitive Baptist home. His father served as deacon at the New Garden Church, located near Excelsior Springs, for several years. During his early years he did not feel a drawing to attend church on a regular basis. That later changed. In June 1959, both he and his wife were baptized into the New Garden Church. Shortly thereafter, the church called for his ordination to the office of deacon, which took place on July 31, 1960. Over the next few years the church recognized he possessed a gift to preach the word of God. OnSeptember 30, 1963, at the request of New Garden Church, he was ordained by a presbytery to the full work of the Gospel Ministry. In January 1964, he was appointed pastor of New Garden Church when Elder Hugh Hall, then pastor, moved to Alabama. He remains the pastor to this day. During his ministry he has also preached for or pastored the following churches, Pleasant Grove Church in Independence, MO; Big Rock Church in Versailles, MO; Pleasant Hill Church in Plattsburg, MO; and Sardis Church in Leeton, MO.

Elder Christianson was called home by an all-wise and merciful Heavenly Father on May 6, 1993.
