Ministry History
In 1994, Glad Tidings FWB Church started as a church plant by the North Carolina Association of Free Will Baptists Home Missions Board under the leadership of Pastor Bob and Mrs. Joann Edmonson. By 1999, the church had built the building on Old NC Hwy. 49, and Bro. Bob continued to lead the congregation into the new millennium. In 2013, after 19 years of faithful service, Bro. Bob retired from the pastorate. The congregation called Daniel Webster to be its second pastor later that year. After a successful pastorate, Bro. Daniel was excited to be granted the opportunity to serve Welch College in Gallatin, TN. Pastor Dale McCoy began his tenure on January 1, 2018 as the revitalization Pastor of Glad Tidings FWB Church, in partnership with NCFWB Home Missions Board.
