Pastor: Rev. Gilmer Bernard Dodson

Pastor's Message:

The Whitsett Baptist Church is one of the highlights of my life. It has been my pleasure to serve as its Pastor since it was organized in 1956. I am convinced that in this church you will find some of the best people in the world. God, through them , has supplied the needs of my family, making it possisible for me to leave public work in 1965 and devote my full time to the ministry. In 1963 the Church presented us with a new car which now has over 100,000 miles on it and is still going.

Through a combined effort, the church has prospered spiritually. The Church is founded on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and is sound in the Faith. The preaching at Whitsett is hard and close, and does not attract large numbers, but the Church has steadily progressed, and for this we are eternally thankful. Our members have a close and wonderful fellowship and a very minimum of problems.

A special recognition is in order for Brother Troy Doby who is also a minister. Brother Troy left our church and pastored Johnson Captist Church for more than four years, but has returnd to Whitsett and has been a great help and inspriration to me over the many years. I am ever grateful to Brother Troy for his fellowship and Faith.

A heart-felt thank you also, to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Roddy and Le-Mann & Associates for making this first Church Directory of Whitsett Baptist Church pssible.

The Whitsett Baptist Church is not run by one or two men, but is a combined effort of the Pastor and all the members, working together in the Vinyard of the Lord.

I thank God for what has been accompolished here, and trust Him for greater things in the future.
