is the culmination of two local church’s efforts to print God’s Word. Pastor Trent Filer had been burdened for years to print and place free copies of the word of God into the hands of the dear people of New England. Simultaneously, Pastor Brooks Suttle had sought to print Bibles and distribute Bibles to unreached people groups around the world. Pastor Filer and Faith Baptist Church started pursuing their dream and were buying equipment and preparing a facility to fulfill that vison. During this time, Pastor Suttle and his flock at Royal River Baptist Church had been given a digital copier, a cutter, and a folding machine, and had been printing gospel tracts and brochures as a first step in accomplishing their ultimate goal of printing whole Bibles.
In 2021, God directed Pastor Filer to another state and ministry. Knowing of Pastor Suttle’s and Royal River Baptist Church’s desire to print the scriptures, he and Faith Baptist Church felt led of the Lord to offer their printing ministry, and the property upon which it was located, to Royal River Baptist Church. Royal River Baptist Press (located in Peru, ME), is a local church ministry of Royal River Baptist Church (located in the coastal town of Yarmouth, ME).
Our Pastor
Brooks Suttle, along with his wife Tricia and their children, moved to Maine in December 2014 and started the Royal River Baptist Church in 2015. They had previously served in various capacities at Swannanoa Heights Baptist Church in Swannanoa, NC for over 20 years.
Brooks accepted Christ while listening to Christian radio. Tricia was saved at her grandfather’s house after her family had been discussing the scriptures. Most of their children have been saved.
Brooks and Tricia met in 1999 while attending Tabernacle Baptist College in Greenville, SC, and were married the following year. They have five wonderful boys. They enjoy serving the Lord together, camping, and hiking.
Royal River Baptist Church
Royal River Baptist Church is a conservative church in the Yarmouth area that preaches the timeless truths of the Bible.
Our aim is simply to exalt our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We seek to know Him intimately and to make Him known.
