First Baptist Church Caruthersville

Our pastor has been in the ministry of our Lord, Jesus for over 20 years now. Jimmy ran from God for years before Jesus turned him around and began a good work in him. Jimmy graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary located in Kansas City, Mo in 2004. He has pastored 4 churches before coming here to Caruthersville to begin the work that Jesus has called him to do. Jimmy is married to susan for 30 years, and they have two grown boys, Grant - 27 and Austin - 25.  Jimmy comes from a large family of 6 siblings. His father was also a preacher of the Word before passing away in 1971. His mother is still alive at the age of 89 and lives in Kennett, Mo.

Bro. Jimmy says, "My goal in life is to promote the Gospel message every day of my life. I pray for our church constantly hoping we serve the King at all times. I pray we grow spiritually in every age group presented in our church so that we can grow numerically. Numbers are cool to have, but I would rather have true believers in Christ Jesus sitting in every pew, sold out for Jesus. I pray for our future as a church and also our future individually as we grow in knowledge and truth."
