Glenn was born in South Carolina and raised in Riverside, New Jersey by his parents Glenn Sr. and Diane Entwistle. When he was six years old, his father spent one week teaching him God’s plan of salvation using crayon-drawn illustrations. Then, on a boat ride with his father and sister, Glenn prayed for Jesus to save him.

During his adolescence, Glenn lived in rebellion against the Lord and His plan for Glenn’s life. But when he was 16 years of age, the long arm of the Lord reached out and grabbed Glenn’s attention—he was caught shoplifting at a grocery store! This incident became a turning point for Glenn as he began to realize that just saying he believed in Jesus did not make him complete in Christ; he had to embrace the Lord in every part of his life. For Glenn to really serve Jesus there had to be consistency between what he said and how he lived.

In 1997, Glenn went to work at Camp Haluwasa and continued to serve there seasonally for the next four years. During this time, Glenn’s faith matured and he saw that the Lord was growing in him a strong desire to minister to teenagers. As a result, Glenn became the Youth Pastor in the same church he attended with his family (then called Open Bible Baptist).  He served faithfully for the following ten years and saw that youth group grow to a weekly attendance of over 40 teens and young adults.

While Glenn was serving as Youth Pastor, he completed his Bachelor’s in Pastoral Theology and Bible at Northeast Baptist Bible College. As his ministry with the youth matured, Glenn began to see God calling him to serve as a senior pastor in a local church. In 2007, the senior pastor of Open Bible Baptist Church retired and Glenn was elected by the congregation to succeed him. In 2008, the church officially changed its name to A New Hope Bible Church.

Pastor Glenn is married to Dana and they have two young children, Tre and Mykaah. As a family, they enjoy watching hockey, going to the park, and swimming - but mostly watching hockey!  Pastor Glenn also loves to take Tre fishing for some father/son bonding.

It is Pastor Glenn’s desire to see the Lord use him and his family to guide the church to be Christ-like and Christ-centered.
