Leadership

Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ

our lead Pastor

Robert Weathers

Pastor Bob began his ministry at First Baptist Church in June of 2005. The Lord brought him to FBCS from Bethel Baptist Church in Westminster, SC, where he had served for six years. Pastor Bob has also served churches in TX as well as other churches in NC. He is married to Kim, who actively participates in ministries, including children’s and music ministries. They have one adult daughter, Kaitlyn.

Pastor Bob gave his life to Christ at nine years old in his home church in Winston-Salem. As a teenager he renewed that commitment to Christ, and in college, while studying communications/journalism, he surrendered to God’s call to be a pastor-teacher. After Pastor Bob graduated from Wingate College in 1984, he furthered his education at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Ft. Worth, TX (M.Div., PhD).

Bob has a passion for reaching lost people and helping believers grow in Christ. When he is not preaching, teaching, leading, and loving the people of FBCS, Pastor Bob serves as an adjunct professor for Liberty University Online, and he maintains an active writing ministry.

Favorite Verse: Col. 1:28, “We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.”
