Alvin, Texas
Russell Traweek serves as pastor of  Chocolate Bayou Baptist Church as
well as
The People's Fellowship a new intentional community birthed by
CBBC.

Russell became a Christian as a young boy at the age of 9 and later in
college felt called to serve God in a larger capacity. He has served
churches all over the state of Texas in various ways using his God-given
talents and gifts. He graduated from the University of Houston at Clear
Lake with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and values his
degree as something to help understand people's lives and better equip
them to live as whole and complete people in Christ...physically,
emotionally, and spiritually.

Russell considers himself, "a conversational preacher who takes you by
the hand and leads you through God's Word." His desire is to bring the
Bible alive for people so that they can see that it applies to the lives of
everyone today and calls all people to live a true, authentic life in Christ
Jesus.

He was raised in a broken home and understands the many struggles that
families and people go through. He feels even more blessed that God
called him out of those hardships and to minister to and serve those who
are struggling, not only with issues of life, but more importantly, the issue
of eternal life.

Russell's role as Senior Pastor is to be the spiritual leader, the primary
Bible teacher, and the communicator of the vision, mission, and values of
Chocolate Bayou Baptist. Russell and his wife, Shelly, have three
children: Grace, Aaron and Elijah.
