Dr. David B. Dixon

Pastor

David has served as the Pastor of First Baptist Church since September 2011. He is married to the love of his life, Leah Dixon, and has two children whom he absolutely adores.  David has been in the ministry since the age of fourteen; serving in various capacities in and out of the church. David holds a B.A. from Ouachita Baptist University, a M.Div. from the Baptist Missionary Theological Seminary, a Th.M. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he wrote extensively on Church Revitalization.

 

His preaching style is straightforward and engaging while maintaining a strict adherence to the biblical text.  His dedication to expository preaching allows David to systematically preach through entire books of the Bible, verse by verse.  David teaches many classes at FBC including a Monday Morning Coffee Study in which he teaches on various topics in Scripture and practical Christian Theology.

 

David loves to read and spend time with his family.  A self-confessed “nerd”, David enjoys many attributes of gaming and various electronic toys.  However, he is no stranger to the outdoors.  The Dixons love to camp and enjoy the wilderness of East Texas and Arkansas.  Although you might talk to him about his golf score, don’t believe it until you see the score card! 

 

More than anything, David is a down to earth REAL person; what you see is what you get.  He loves to talk to people and would really enjoy getting to know you and your family!
