PASTOR DAVID'S POLAR PLUNGE

Never try to predict the weather from the pulpit! In a November sermon, Pastor David said it wouldn’t snow this winter, and if it did, he would jump in Lake Carroll. Now that it has snowed, he is going to fulfill his promise but wants to use this event as a way to raise awareness for missions as well as some money for February’s Global Mission Offering which supports CBF missionaries throughout the world. On Friday, February 28th at 4 p.m. at Lakeshore Park at Lake Carroll, he is going to take a Polar Plunge into an ice bath that will be prepared for him!  He just doesn’t think Lake Carroll will be a true Polar Plunge at that time of year! You can come and watch in person or watch on a Facebook live video on First Baptist’s Facebook page!

Most importantly, please give!

All donations will go to our church’s goal of raising $8,000 for our Global Mission Offering which goes to support missionaries throughout the world.  To learn more about the Global Mission Offering click on this link: https://cbf.net/global-missions/offering-for-global-missions/, but be sure to donate through First Baptist Church so we can count it towards our overall goal!  You can do so through FBC’s Venmo.  Simply put “Polar Plunge” and your pledge category in the memo line!

Dr. David Hughes

Senior Pastor

Dr. David Hughes accepted the call to the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Carrollton in January 2022. David’s formation is in thanks to many fine schools, employers, churches, and his family. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish at Furman University (2005), a Master of Divinity from Erskine Theological Seminary (2018) and a Doctor of Ministry at McAfee School of Theology in Church Leadership and Administration (2023). Before accepting the call to ministry in 2011, David worked for six years for non-profits in Greenville, South Carolina and Patagonia, Chile. Previously, he served as the minister to students at First Baptist Church of Augusta (2018 – 2021) and Easley First Baptist Church (2011 – 2018). Married to Rebecca in 2006, David’s amazing wife is a constant source of love, encouragement, and partnership in the ministry. The two of them welcomed their daughter Maggie in 2012 and now watch with amazement as their precious daughter continues to grow and develop. David believes firmly that The Church is a place of invitation for all where lives can be transformed by The Gospel of Jesus Christ. His passion is to create vision and lead God’s people to express the love of Christ in the world.
