  • Minister of Music

    I started at FBC Flora in May of 2024. I am responsible for planning and leading worship services. I also direct the FBC Adult Choir, Children's Choir, and Refuge band. One of my additional roles in the church include maintaining and upgrading the church's audio/visual equipment. I am married to Laura Hines, a special education teacher in the Clinton Public School District. Together, we have three boys: Noah, Abel, and Levi.  When not at church, I enjoy watching and attending Mississippi State athletic events, traveling with my family, reading, cooking and smoking meat, watching movies with his family, playing video games, and working out.

    I have been serving at FBC since September 1988, where I manage the day-to-day operations of the church office. My responsibilities include maintaining the church calendar, preparing the weekly bulletin and monthly newsletter, overseeing the master membership roll, and handling various other tasks as needed. What I cherish most is the sweet fellowship and family atmosphere at FBC; it truly is a loving and caring community. I’ve been married to Mike since 1977, and we have two grown sons, Ken and Eric, along with five wonderful grandchildren: Taryn, Cooper, Kayson, Warren, and Julia Ann. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, cooking, and attending my grandchildren's activities.

  • Ministry Assistant of Assimilation

    I’ve been a member of FBC Flora since 2007 and began serving on staff in April 2023. As a point of contact for new members and guests, I’m dedicated to helping them connect with life groups, service opportunities, and events. I also provide administrative support to the pastoral staff and help organize church events. My favorite aspect of FBC Flora is the challenge to invest in, disciple, and love others; my family wouldn't be where we are today without this church, and I am truly grateful to God for that. My husband, Wil, and I are blessed with a loving family, including two daughters, Emilee and Maggie, a son, Baylor, daughter-in-law, Janna, and two grandchildren, Barkley and Bonner. In my free time, I love attending concerts, fishing, and spending quality time with family and friends.

    I have been a part of FBC since July 2021, working in the Preschool and Children’s Ministry, I serve in Life Groups and Extended Session, as well as participating in the Children’s Choir, Missions, Vacation Bible School, camp, winter retreats, and seasonal activities. I absolutely love the welcoming, homey atmosphere that the community here creates.

    I’m currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, specializing in children, with the goal of continuing my education at the doctoral level. My passion for children runs deep, and I am committed to supporting them spiritually and emotionally through my studies and ministry.

    Outside of my work at FBC, my family includes my parents, two siblings, and a number of beloved animals. I’ve always had a heart for serving children, loving on them and showing God’s love for them in every aspect of life.

    I have been serving as the Ministry Assistant of Finance since May, 2024.  I have one son, Mack and three grandchildren, Parker, Kevin, and Kora Jane who live next door to me.  I treasure spending time with them along with my dog Rahab, who we all call Rae.  In my spare time I enjoy gardening and life on the lake. I am thankful God has blessed me with the opportunity to serve Him here at FBC Flora.

  • Student Ministry Intern

    I have been interning at FBC Flora since February 2023, and my favorite thing about First Baptist Flora is this community and how we care for one another like family. My family includes my mom, Sharon Thompson, my brother, Brock, my sister-in-law, Cassidy and my nephew, Webber. In my free time, I enjoy watching football on Sundays and hanging out with friends.

    I have been the Executive pastor at FBC Flora since July 2021. I’ve been in ministry since 1982, accumulating 42 years of experience in areas like business administration, finances, personnel, facilities, and discipleship. I truly love our church family and cherish worshiping and serving alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ. My wife, Debbie, and I have been married for 41 years, and we have a daughter, Allie, who is a nurse, and our son-in-law, Tyler, a Staff Sergeant with the Mississippi Air Guard. In my free time, I enjoy hunting for ducks and deer, as well as carpentry. I especially look forward to the fall, when the seasons change, allowing us to enjoy God’s beautiful creation outdoors

  • Senior Pastor

    I started at FBC Flora in March of 2020. I provide overall leadership and vision for First Baptist Church of Flora, focusing on "Making Much of JESUS!" This includes preaching and offering spiritual counsel and prayer to church members. My favorite aspect of the church is the authenticity of the congregation, expressing their genuine passion for Jesus and the Gospel, which makes me love this church family. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Vicki since 1985 and we have three married children and seven grandchildren. In my personal time my hobbies include hunting, discovering the best pizza places, spending quality time with family, and volunteering as a firefighter with the Flora Fire Department.
