Peter Witkowski
Peter serves as the senior Pastor of Amissville Baptist Church (ABC) located in Amissville, Virginia. Before arriving at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains, Peter worked as an intern at the Bible Church of Little Rock, ministered as a hospital Chaplain at Baptist Hospital East in Louisville, and served as the Associate Pastor of Preschool and Children’s Pastor at First Baptist Church Eastman.
Peter earned his Master of Divinity Degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2012. Seeking to put his theology into action, he became a certified member of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) in 2016. In 2023, he earned a PhD. in Church History at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary writing on Martyn LLoyd-Jones conflict with John Stott. Before turning to theology, he received Bachelor of Art Degrees in History and French from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Go Trojans!
While at Southern Seminary, he encountered something far greater than the glories of the Reformation which have shaped his understanding of theology. He met and married the one and only April Witkowski. They have three wonderful children. Sadly, April died in June of 2022 after a three-year battle with breast cancer. Peter is now adjusting to the world of being a single dad.
In addition to preaching, counseling, and celebrating all things Chicago, Peter loves to write about theology. His articles have been featured at Challies.com, Credo Magazine, the Family Research Council website and HistoricalTheology.org.

Why You Got David and Goliath Wrong
We love the story of David and Goliath. But, we often misunderstand the story. We see the narrative as a great example of how we can save ourselves from the giants of adversity through good analysis, elbow-grease, and ingenuity. The famous columnist Malcolm Gladwell encapsulated the typical approach to the David and Goliath story when…
