Dr. Robert McKeever was a native New Englander, born and reared in Bangor, Maine. At the age of seven, he was led to the Lord by a missionary church planter Bill White, who founded the Bible Baptist Church in Bangor.
While attending Bible College, Dr. McKeever planted his first church in Scottsboro, Alabama. During the next thirty years God used Dr. McKeever to start several churches in New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.At the height of his ministry in 2004, Dr. McKeever was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was serving at that time as director of New England School of the Bible, a ministry of Central Baptist Church in Southington, Connecticut; New England director for Baptist International Missions, coordinator for the Church Planting Schools conducted all over North America; and preaching at several mission conferences each year.
On October 31, 2005, after a long painful struggle with cancer, Dr. McKeever went home to be with the Lord. His life and testimony were a powerful influence on young people, preachers, and all Christians who were privileged to know him.
To honor the life-long ministry of Dr. Robert McKeever, this site is dedicated to the advancement of two ministries that were closest to his heart: church planting and revival.

This slogan from a major car company is a catchy phrase. As slogans go it may or may not have merit, but it sounds good and it may entice customers to buy their product. In our commercial society the church can easily be affected by the "be the biggest and best" philosophy of the world. However, the church is a not a commercial business. The church is a living organization instituted by Christ and built upon the doctrine and faith of the Apostles and prophets.

The gospel in print is a powerful tool to preach the Word of God. The Bible is our source of faith and practice. It is also the tool God uses to convict souls of their lost condition. The Bible can be distributed in whole or in part. New churches often distribute the Bible in part by preparing and distributing thousands of John and Romans, specially prepared and designed for their church. This is a powerful tool. Families have responded to literature distributed even years after it was given out. Also, the entire New Testament can be designed specifically for your church and distributed by the hundreds and the thousands.
