Meet Our Pastor

Pastor
Jaska Duwadi
Pastor
Pastor Jaska was born in Nepal and grew up in Australia before moving to the United States in late 2014. Shortly after his conversion in Adelaide, South Australia, in late October 2011, he embraced the call to ministry. Recognizing his God-given gift for evangelism, he began to share the gospel boldly on the streets of Adelaide. After relocating to Colorado, he continued to utilize his gifts in the streets of Denver and in various other states as he traveled as an evangelist, speaking at numerous local churches across the United States. Jaska has been used by the Lord in various capacities, including leading a house church, co-pastoring a local congregation, serving as a missionary family, and even establishing a missions organization focused on sharing the gospel worldwide. He is blessed with seven children alongside his wonderful wife, Julie. In addition to being a devoted husband, father, and pastor, he is also an author and the founder of Book of Remembrance Ministries.

History of Marshall Baptist Church
Marshall Baptist Church was established on July 22, 1882 by Samuel M. Athey as part of the Potomac Association.  Mr. Athey served as the church’s first pastor.  The initial membership totaled twelve, and they worshiped in a simple frame structure that was erected on the current church site.  In 1923, exactly forty-one years to the day later, the members dedicated the current brick structure.  In 1934, additional Sunday School rooms were added; the Fellowship Hall was completed in 1974. Marshall Baptist Church has now been in existence for over 140 years.  Many pastors and members have come and gone through its doors, yet Marshall Baptist Church has maintained its purpose as a place of worship, supporting missions so that many may come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
