Wade Rush - Pastor
waderush@fbcpleasanton.org

Texas A&M University:  BA Maritime Administration

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary:  MA in Christian Education

"I have always viewed ministry as a privilege.  The ministry of our church is just that...ministry.  It is introducing the lost person to the salvation that comes in Christ.  It is spiritually growing every believer by teaching and applying Scripture in relevant, applicable ways.  It is expressing Christ through meeting various needs of those in our church, community, and world.  It is fellowshipping together, realizing it is only a mirror of the fellowship we will have in Heaven."

Lisa and I have been married since 1994.  She is my encourager and best friend.  We have two children Hayden and Madison. 

I enjoy spending time with family, hunting, fishing, and watching or playing sports.  But the most exciting thing of all is leading someone to the saving grace of Jesus Christ! 


John Coleman - Minister of Music & Education
johncoleman@fbcpleasanton.org

"I have served at FBC, Pleasanton for 28 years in the music and education ministries of our church. I graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft Worth in 1980 and prior to that Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. "

"My wife, Lisa, serves side by side with me as an intregal part of my life and ministry.  We have 3 adult children:  Michael, a computer analyst for Bryan ISD, Jamie, an education major at Angelo State & Landon, our very own U.S Marine."

"God has greatly blessed us by calling us to be part of this wonderful church family.  We're here to serve, to minister, to equip believers, and to share the gospel with our community and wherever our church sends us to minister in Christ's name."

"This is a place where you can grow in grace by discovering your spiritual potential, be encouaged by other believers, and find many opportunities for service."

"This is a praying church, a worshipping church, a caring church, and a Bible-based church seeking to spread God's light into every corner of our world.  We welcome you to come visit us and hope you'll join us in our mission of following Christ's command to make disciples wherever we go."

    


Jeff Bachman - Minister of Youth & Evangelism
JeffBachman@fbcpleasanton.org

I have been the minister of Youth and Evangelism for over seven years at First Baptist.  I enjoy working with the Youth because they keep me young.  I am a Graduate of South West Texas State University in San Marcos Texas.  I studied to be a coach, but God had other plans.  I'm married to a wonderful women that supports me in all I do.  Tammy and I have been married for ten years and have four wonderful children.

Shannon is eight and going into the third grade.  Katelyn and Caleb, our twins, are six and going into first grade.  Zoe was born on April 1, 2008 and is growing every day.

Katelyn & Zoe are the only people in Texas with a rare liver condition called Crigler-Najjar Syndrome (CNS).  You can read more about the girls and CNS by visiting www.KatelynsLight.com.

I am glad that God has given me the ability to reach and work with youth because they are the lifeline of the church.  It's amazing to see them grow up and become active members of the church.  I enjoy discipling new believers and teaching them what it means to "Grow in Grace". 

I enjoy offroading in my "68" Bronco, going hunting, and spending time with my wonderful wife and kids.


Rosy Smith - Ministry of Senior Adults

Cathy Tavernier - Financial Secretary

I have had the honor and privilege of serving here at FBC for over 15 years as the financial secretary. Through this journey God has taken a very shy, insecure young lady and helped her become a woman who draws her strength from HIM and found her value as one of HIS children.  A woman who is discovering day by day who she is in Christ and is seeking to please HIM with every breath she takes.  A woman who fails often BUT knows she has a loving, merciful FATHER who will restore her as soon as she repents.  WOW...what an awesome GOD we serve!  Only in and through the LORD JESUS CHRIST could this transformation ever be possible.  He is the lover of our souls and HE longs for us to spend time with HIM.  PRAISE GOD!

My husband, Chris, and I love to travel and our favorite place is Colorado any time of the year!  There's just something about GOD and mountains...

We also love to hike and bike, but my favorite hobby is working with my horse, Snowy.  I am so glad GOD made horses! 

 


Associate in Secretarial Science - Bee County College

I am truly blessed to serve at First Baptist Church.  Before working in the church office, God most graciously blessed me with working for the FBC Child Development Center, as a PreSchool Teacher for eight years.  Then in 1999 I was added to the FBC Church staff as the receptionist and publicity secretary.  God has given me a deeper meaning of Agape love, through the many relationships I've made while working here at First Baptist Church.  Caring, sharing and praying together so that all may know of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

My husband (Terry Huth) and I have been married since February 10, 1979.  God blessed us with two sons, Jeremy & Luke, who are adults now and both reside in Pleasanton.  You might say Terry and I are empty nesters. 

My hobbies are hiking, camping and going to the beach.  Favorite places to go are New Mexico in the summer and Corpus Christi, TX in February.
