Crossroads Baptist Church had its beginning on October 9, 1955. Ninety
two members chartered the Church and it was designated as Crossroads
Missionary Baptist Church. The charter members and others of the
congregation first met in a tent located on the present parking lot. The
educational section of the building was built in 1956, the main auditorium was
added in 1966. A gym also serving as a fellowship hall was added in 1970.
Improvements have been made since that time and the building has been well
maintained.
The Church presently helps in the support of 37 missionaries and missions with
an annual missions budget of $38,000. The missionaries are representing the
Lord Jesus Christ through the aide of the Church around the world. The
constitution of the church was drafted shortly after being chartered and it calls
for the use of the King James Version of the Bible by all preachers and
teachers. The church does not believe the KJV to be the original manuscripts
but is of the opinion that it is the preserved Word of God for English speaking
people.
Pastor Jack K. Mayes came to serve on September 7, 1980 and fills that position
at this present time. Pastor Mayes' studies include two years of Bible School
through Bethany Bible School of Dothan, Alabama. Pastor Mayes also has an
earned Masters degree and a Doctorate of Theology from Bethany Bible
College and Theological Seminary of Dothan, Alabama. His studies also include
Luther Rice Seminary of Florida. Studies in Greek and associated studies were
from Tri-State Bible College in South Point, Ohio. Pastor Mayes is on the
teaching staff at Southland Bible Institute of Ashland, Ky.
Pastor Mayes was saved on August 27, 1967. He was a member of the Grace
Baptist Temple of Saint Albans, West Virginia, where he served as a Sunday
School Teacher and Deacon. It was from this church that he was ordained to the
gospel ministry.
Pastor Mayes is married to the former Patricia R. Tucker. She is the daughter of
Cecil & Opal Tucker, a Baptist Minister for nearly 60 years at the time the Lord
called him home. Pastor and Mrs. Mayes have four children and six
grandchildren. They celebrate their wedding anniversary on November 5th.
Pastor Mayes claims Psalm 121:8 as a verse of Scripture which has been a
source of great comfort in the times of distress and trouble. “The LORD shall
preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, andven for
evermore.”
