Leadership
"Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood." Acts 20:28
Welcome Our New Pastor!
We are excited to share that Reyshawn Bobo has been called to serve as an elder and the new pastor of First Baptist Church of Dacula! He and his family will be joining us in March.
Reyshawn trusted Christ in 2007, served as a ministry leader to college students, and began to serve in church leadership in 2014. He married his lovely wife, Michele, in 2015, and is father to Titus, Malachi, and Elijah. He is a graduate of Montana State University (BA) and California Baptist University (MPA).
Reyshawn is currently pursuing his MDiv at The Master’s Seminary while continuing to serve.
Most of all, Reyshawn sees himself as a sinner saved by the grace of God in Christ, seeking to proclaim God's amazing grace to all who will listen.
