Rob and Suellen Stroup
Pastor Rob Stroup
Pastor Stroup was called to serve Rock Lake Baptist Church in January, 2018. He and his wife, Suellen, have four children. They share a passion to minister to God’s people by encouraging each person to take the next step in their spiritual journey. Their experience includes ministry to all ages, from toddlers to Senior Saints. Rob previously served as an assistant pastor in Lilburn, Georgia for 18 years and also served as a youth pastor in Athens, Georgia. Together they have gone on several mission trips and love to spend time with God’s people. Suellen loves to serve in music, children, and ladies’ ministries. Their desire is to edify the body of Christ through preaching and teaching God’s Word, and to work alongside other believers to give the gospel message in this community and around the world.
Summer 2019
It has been a very busy summer for Rock Lake Baptist Church.

What a privilege to welcome another new couple into our fellowship! Right away we had a wonderful VBS, Giddyup Junction, with the help of a youth group mission team from Faith Baptist Church of Davison, Michigan. It was a joy to get to know Pastor Eric and all the team members as we worked together to reach boys and girls from our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
