First Baptist Welcomes Dr. Matthew L. Snowden as Pastor

   

On Sunday, August 8, 2010, the congregation of First Baptist Church, Waco unanimously voted to call Matt Snowden as its new pastor.  Matt received the unanimous recommendation of both the Pastor Search Committee and the Deacon Fellowship before preaching in view of a call during the Sunday morning worship service on August 8.  Matt comes to First Waco from the First Baptist Church of Meridian, Mississippi, where he has served as Associate Pastor for three years.   Previously, he was pastor of two churches in Mississippi--Truitt Memorial Baptist Church in Pearl, and Wanilla Baptist Church in Monticello.  He has worked with the Baptist Student Union, Habitat for Humanity and the Mississippi Coordinating Council of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship in recent years.

 Matt is married to Meredith Snowden.  Meredith is trained as a teacher, but is currently focused on raising their two children Molly Katherine (4 ½ yrs.) and Wes (3 yrs.).  Matt graduated from Truett Seminary with his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2009.  He earned his Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.  He received his undergraduate degree in Religion and Philosophy from William Carey College, where he was also awarded the highest honor given to an undergraduate student for leadership and citizenship.

 Matt and his family will be officially starting their ministry with FBC on Sunday, August 29th.  Please come welcome the Snowdens in person during the morning worship, and in the afternoon at our church-wide picnic.  In the meantime, you may contact Matt by e-mail at msnowden@fbcwaco.org.
