Pastor Luke was called by First Baptist to serve as Pastor in April 2018. He was raised in the Charlotte area and attended Appalachian State University, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Communication.

Pastor Luke comes to Rocky Mount from Boone, NC, where he served two different churches in nine years of ministry.
Luke is married to his high school sweetheart, Amy. Together they have three daughters and one son. Luke and Amy enjoy building relationships with anyone and everyone. They believe that aside from the Word of God and the Spirit of God, relationships are the greatest tool God uses to draw people to himself. Luke and Amy are grateful to serve at First Baptist Church and look forward to how God will use First Baptist for His glory in the Rocky Mount community.

They believe that the Lord has established their steps (Proverbs 16:9) and desire to make His name known through the ministry of First Baptist.

Bob was called to serve First Baptist as Minister to Homebound in 2003. Bob retired after 38 years in the mortgage banking industry and held positions in several different companies before being called to First Baptist.

Timothy was called by First Baptist to serve as Music Minister in January 2023. He lived in Missouri, Texas, and Georgia before attending Liberty University where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Worship and Music Studies in 2014.

They believe that the Lord has sovereignly and providentially ordered their steps. They desire to lead people to worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24) while incorporating psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16) in worship services. They are grateful to serve at First Baptist and are excited to be a part of this church family. They give God the glory for leading them to serve alongside the church and look forward to how God will use First Baptist to reach the community of Rocky Mount and beyond for His glory.

They believe in the importance of students and families being grounded biblically to shape their worldview. This is done through an honest teaching of God’s word and a personal relationship with Jesus.
