I am conservative in doctrine, and have kept my CBA / Venture Network credentials in good order through the CBAA Chaplaincy. I served 25.5 years as a CBAA Chaplain, and subsequently over 10 years as a local Law Enforcement Chaplain. You can check with Rev. Dr. Jim Miller at First Baptist of Metuchen, and Rev. Randy Brandt (Venture Network of Churches Endorser to the Armed Forces).
Prior to entering the US Army, I graduated from Denver Seminary (then, the Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary) and served as Assistant Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Metuchen NJ for 5.5 years. During that time I also served on the state NJCBA Board as Recording Secretary, and as Communications Secretary.
I am now retired and residing in NE Pennsylvania (locally known as NEPA). For 15 months, before and during the pandemic, I served a small ABC church in Aldenville PA as their Interim. And I’ve recently filled a few pulpits along the way.
Pastor Vincent Kovlak is a faithful and caring pastor with forty-three years of pastoral experience in the two churches he served. You can find his sermons on Facebook under “Bellmawr Baptist Church.” His forte is as a Bible expositor, preaching through a passage or book of the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter. He is well-versed in Bible prophecy and Bible Doctrine. He is also a capable in Biblical counseling and conflict resolution.
In November 2021, he retired from full-time pastoral ministry after serving Bellmawr Baptist Church for forty years. Presently, he is a member of Mullica Hill Baptist Church, where he also serves as a home missionary, distributing gospel fliers to every home in Mullica Hill, Harrison Township and beyond.
Pastor Kovlak is available for pulpit supply whenever and wherever needed.
After serving for many years in Louisiana, Keith felt called to return to Pennsylvania in 2010 to be closer to his aging relatives. He became the senior pastor of Grace Community Church in Chalfont, where he continued his passion for preaching, teaching, discipleship, and community outreach until 2021.
In 2021, Keith joined the staff of Interim Pastor Ministries, expanding his ministry to support churches in transition. In February 2022, he accepted a position as interim pastor at Petersburg Baptist Church in Petersburg, New York. He concluded his service there in August 2025, successfully facilitating the smooth transition of leadership to the church’s new full-time pastor.
