Maksym Oliynyk

Maksym Oliynyk grew up in an unbelieving family in Kyiv. He came to God through the testimony of his mother, who brought him to the house of prayer. In 1998, he experienced a rebirth and was baptized in water at the Bethany Baptist Church. In 2000, he was ordained a deacon. After baptism, he was actively involved in the local church and was sent to study at the IHS. In 2008, he completed his MDiv program at the Irpin Biblical Seminary. That same year, he was elected pastor at that church. Maksym and his wife, Olena, have three children.
