FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN.
I was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1956 and felt an interest and love for God from an early age. In later years, after feeling a strong conviction of sin, I united with a missionary Baptist church. I attended a missionary Baptist college in Lexington, Kentucky, where I met and married Piper Troxell. During my time at the missionary institution, I became convinced of the doctrines of Grace, and became acquainted with the Primitive Baptists.
The truth of salvation in the finished work of Christ, without means or conditions of men found a lodging place in my heart. Having been led by the Spirit of God to know the truth, I united in 1980 with the Lexington Primitive Baptist Church, Lexington, Kentucky, being baptized by Elder Paul Trautner.
Over the years I have continued to find rest for my soul in the precious Gospel of Christ. My wife united with the Primitive Baptists about 10 years after me. By the Grace of God, she also came to deny the religions of men and to embrace the true report of a victorious Christ. Our three children have united with the gospel church, the pillar and ground of the truth, for which we are thankful.
I was ordained to the gospel ministry in 1997 and was the pastor the Fort Wayne Primitive Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Though beset many times by sin and failures, I realize the working of God in ways beyond human understanding, leading in paths of truth. My desire is to continue in the Lord's service, giving all diligence to be a vessel of honor and glory to God.
Updated - Elder Doug Meeks is currently the Pastor of Rock Springs Primitive Baptist Church in Booneville, KY. |
