Our Associate Pastor, M.P.S.A. Carl Gibbs & Family
Carl Gibbs grew up in the Western New York area and is thankful for the consistent Godly
example that his parents showed him. Although he accepted the Lord as his Savior when
he was about 5 years old, much of his spiritual growth came during his teen years as he
went to camp and was involved in his youth group.
Educational background: Word of Life Bible Institute where he received a diploma in
Bible, Tennessee Temple College where he received his B.S. in secondary education, and
Pensacola Christian College where he received an M.S. in educational administration. He
has served at Panama City Christian School and Central Baptist Church, Maranatha
Christian School, Northside Christian Academy, and Heritage Academy. After attending
Word of Life Bible institute and Tennessee Temple College, he was a teacher and
administrator in the Christian School ministry for 31 years.
Before his last year of college the Lord allowed him to marry his "high school sweetheart"
in 1977. They have four children: Silas is working as an electrical engineer and serves as a
deacon in his church, Caleb is married to Charity and works as a lab technician in
Columbus, Ohio and serves at Maranatha Baptist Church, Joel is a graduate student at
the University of Dallas studying philosophy, and Hannah is a student at The Ohio State
University in Columbus, Ohio.
Brother Gibbs began serving at Evangel Baptist Church during the summer of 2009. His
role as Associate Pastor is a diverse one which allows him to minister to many age groups
within the church as he assists our Pastor, Ron Faith.
