FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
Our Ministry Team
Weldon Branham, Pastor
Susan and I were married September 9th, 1983. We met at Rainbow Baptist Church, the church we married in. We have 3 children – all boys.
​
Samuel, our oldest son, and his wife Lisa live in Morgan Mill. They have 4 children, Hunter, Dillan, Colby and Kinzie.
​
Daniel, and his wife Misha, live in Glen Rose. They have two daughters, Bekah and Rylee.
Jacob, our youngest son, passed away March 9th, 2023 and we await to be reunited with him in heaven.
​
I became full time pastor here at First Baptist on November 1st, 2024 after being a bi-vocational pastor here for 6 years.
​
Susan is currently enjoying her retirement and is busier than ever.
​
My education was completed at Tyndale Biblical Institute and Seminary located in Fort Worth. I received both my bachelor and master level diplomas from them. Their program allowed me to gain my education with both extension and online courses allowing me to continue working and being at home with family. My education focus on two areas: biblical counseling and biblical languages.
Susan and I have pastored in various places over the past 35 years. We began our ministerial work in a place called Hill City (a community just north of Glen Rose). We pastored in this church for 13 years. Following this pastorate, we served in Nemo Texas at New Prospect Baptist Church for 7 years.
​
After 25+ years of bi-vocational ministry, the Lord has led me to continue as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dublin, Texas.
​
We enjoy getting to know each of you and serve alongside you. We look forward to all opportunities and engagements the Lord has in store for the future of our church.
