Retired Pastor Profile ? Leroy Bass
Pastor Leroy Bass was born on January 17, 1925, in Springfield, MA. He was raised in a Christian home and was baptized by immersion at the age of 18 in a Methodist church. He graduated from Northampton Vocational School in Northampton, MA, in 1943.
It was through Bible study during Leroy?s service in the army that he discovered that Sabbath was on the seventh day of the week. This changed his whole practice of what it meant to pursue Christ-likeness.
Leroy married Marjorie Darrow on August 29, 1954. They have four children: Vivian (Allen); Clifford; Valerie (Gregg); and Marvin. They also have 18 grandchildren.
Pastor Bass received further education for the ministry by graduation with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Ministry from Atlantic Union College. He also took classes at Potomac University Theological Seminary and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Pastor Leroy served SDB churches in Paint Rock, AL; Nortonville, KS; New Auburn, WI; and Madison, WI. He has also served as a missionary to Guyana, a chaplain, and as a director of the Bible Sabbath Association.
