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.”
