Eddie grew up in the south in a Christian home where he found Jesus at the young age of ten. He experienced a call to Gospel ministry as a senior in high school then pursued his education. Eddie received a BBA degree from Belmont University in Nashville and a Master of Arts in Education from Southwestern Seminary in Ft. Worth Texas. He has served several churches through the past 50 years in just about every ministry position you can think of. He and his wife, Caroline have six grown children. Eddie was excited about the opportunities the recent merger between FBC Avondale Estates and Gospel Hope Church offered and, is anticipating God’s hand of blessing to continue in the future.
