Church Body

The church is not a building made with stone. It is a building made with living flesh. We believers are living stones in God’s temple (1 Pet. 2:5), and when we come together we constitute a place of worship where God manifests Himself in ways that He cannot manifest Himself when we are alone. Believers become the living temple of God, offering to Him spiritual sacrifices not possible anywhere other than in the assembly of the redeemed church. -- John MacArthur

David Azam - Pastor

I was raised in Denver City Tx, and graduated from High School in 1995. I graduated from Texas Tech University in May of 2000, with a B.A. in History, and then pursued a career as a teacher/coach. Following my call to ministry I moved back to Denver City and served as Youth Pastor at First Baptist for 9 years. During that time I earned a Masters of Divinity degree from Logsdon Theological Seminary, as well as a Masters in Christian Ministry degree from Wayland Baptist University. My wife and I have a son, Brady, who was born June 30th, 2008, and a daughter, Ella who was born March 4th, 2010. My family and I are so excited to be in Olton, and I am truly honored to serve as your pastor.

Travis McCullough - Music Minister

I grew up in New Deal, TX and graduated from New Deal High School in 2002. I attended Wayland Baptist University where I participated in the marching band and jazz band. I graduated from Wayland in 2006 with a B.A. in Instrumental Music Education. I met my wife Kathleen while in college and we married in 2007. On March 2, 2009, our energetic son Josiah Thomas was born. In the fall of 2010, I became the head director of the Olton Mustang Band at Olton High School. We not only quickly fell in love with Olton, but with First Baptist as well. My wife and I have prayed for years for the Lord to lead us to a church body where we can minister and serve, and we have found that at First Baptist Olton. I am excited to see how the Lord will use my talents to bring glory to His name. We love the church family we have found at First Baptist Church and I am honored to serve as your music minister.
