Homer Walkup Pastor Education Masters in Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary/ Fort Worth, Texas 1976 Bachelor of Arts in History, University of Texas at Arlington 1972 Personal Statement I was raised in a Christian home and at an early age realized my need to trust Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I made that decision at the First Baptist Church of Air Base City, Hobbs, New Mexico. In 1963, at Paris, Texas I felt God was calling me into the pastoral ministry. Since then He has continued to confirm that call through the various stages of Spritual Growth and maturity in which He has led me. I believe that God's ministry for me in the church is a Pastor/Teacher. I am to care for the members as a shepherd would his sheep and I am to equip the members for the work of the ministry. --------------------------------------------------- Reverend Homer Walkup was licensed in 1963 at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Reno, Texas.

Richard Bell
Minister to Youth and Students
Richard's Testimony: " I grew up in the church in Irving, Tx at MacArthur Boulevard Baptist church. I attended there untill junior high when our church split. I did go back to a small church in Irving called Colonial Baptist church in my late junior and into my senior year in high school. But I didn't feel God's spirit in my life until Mother's Day of 2001 when I went to church for my mom. I once again became involved in the church at Irving Baptist Fellowship. There I felt God's prescense and I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior in June during VBS."
"Soon I became involved with the Youth at that church and choir. In January 2005 I was called to serve as Youth and Music Minister of Pleasant Grove First Baptist Church. I served there untill Feburary 4, 2006. That's when I was called here to serve as Youth Pastor at Lake Shore Baptist Church."
