FBCJX LEADERSHIP

Lead Pastor

The Lord brought Pastor Seth to FBC Jacksonville on Easter in 2021. Previously, Seth was in student ministry for 11 years. He and his wife Melody grew up in Northwest Arkansas. They married in 2009 and have 4 children. Seth’s ministry is motivated and guided by Malachi 2:5-6 as God spoke of his priests, “My covenant with him was one of life and peace and I gave those to him. It called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his mouth and nothing wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and integrity and turned many from iniquity.”
