About The Artist

Giles Blankenship has served as the Minister of Worship at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC since 2005. Along with a worship team, he leads the 8:40am worship service filled with fresh sounds of familiar hymns, modern worship songs, and original songs by himself and other local worship leaders. Giles has published 3 cds (Home, The Day is Dawning, and Planted Here) and other singles, which can be found on Apple Music and Spotify. Giles also won the We Are Worship songwriting contest in 2013 with his original song “You Are There.”

Giles’ musical accomplishments are not where his skills stop, however. His genuine presence and worshipful attitude create holy experiences in worship and relationships with all people, and he has a deep desire to connect people with God through music and worship. Giles is married to Kelly and they have 2 college-aged children Davis & Sophie.

About The Artists

“Ten ‘till Swing” is a jazz band based in Carrollton, GA that performs in various contexts and venues around Carroll County and West Georgia. Originally starting with ten members (hence the name), this group continues to grow and expand their musical footprint across the community. We are thrilled to be partnering together with this wonderful group of musicians.

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.
