Glen L Tweet

Glen L. TWEET Beloved pastor, husband and father, Glen Lloyd Tweet passed into the arms of his Savior on May 25, 2013. Born April 5, 1923 in Noonan, North Dakota, Glen was one of thirteen children born to Theodore and Anna Tweet. He often spoke about his time growing up on the farm and enjoyed his garden where he grew wonderful fruits and vegetables. While working as a custom combiner in Wolf Point, Montana, he met his future wife, Inez Tweet, who was working in Wolf Point during the hospitalization of her brother, Donald. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Glen followed Inez to Tacoma, Washington, where they were married on June 21st, 1945 with Glen's brother Norman and Inez's sister May serving as witnesses and Grace and Floyd Williams in attendance. In 1950, friends invited Glen and Inez to Tabernacle Baptist Church where they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. A few years later, Glen was called to preach and the family moved to Lexington, Kentucky where he attended Bible School at Ashland Avenue Baptist Church. When they returned to Washington, with authority from Bryan Station Baptist Church, the South Park Missionary Baptist Church was established. Glen served as pastor for more than 40 years, faithfully preaching the gospel and caring for his flock including the larger South Park community. For years, he ministered through a weekly radio broadcast, Amazing Grace, which aired in the Seattle area, Montana and North Dakota.
