MINISTERIAL
STAFF
Music Minister God
has given us a wonderful Worship Leader with a heart
for people, and a love for the Lord, Brother David
Allen leads our worship in a meaningful
way.
Pastor Our pastor, Ray White is
a graduate of Wills Point High School, Wills Point,
Texas, and married Jane Fugate, a graduate of Canton
High School, Canton, Texas in 1965. In 1969 they
purchased a home in Canton where their son, Joel, and
daughter, Amy, were born.
Brother Ray holds a
Bachelor in Biblical Studies from Landmark Bible
Theological Seminary of Fort Worth, Texas. Jane
holds a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education
from Easy Texas State University, Commerce,
Texas. Brother Ray was employed by the Dallas
Fire Department from 1970-1982, and also was the owner
of Free State Map Company in Canton. Jane was a
public school teacher in Mabank, Texas.
On May
24, 1981, he surrendered his life to the ministry of
our Lord Jesus Christ. A few months later God
laid a burden on his heart for the Southwestern part
of Colorado, more specifically the Dolores area.
In December of that year Brother Ray and family went
to look at the field there. In July, 1982,
Brother Ray resigned the fire department, and closed
his map company. He and his family moved to
Dolores to work for the Lord. After working with
two different churches, God closed the door and sent
them back to Texas. He pastored Parkview Baptist
Church, Malakoff, Texas. While pastoring
Parkview, he furthered his education by attending the
Baptist Missionary Association Theological Seminary in
Jacksonville, Texas. After approximately two
years in Malakoff, Brother Ray felt God calling him
back to the Dolores, Colorado area. In June,
1984, he resigned as pastor of Parkview. Jane, a
public school teacher, also resigned her
position. He and his family moved there.
After much prayer God opened the door for a new
church. On September 2, 1984, Brother Ray led a
small group to establish Mountain View Baptist Church
as a mission from Valley Dale Baptist Church, Canton,
Texas. He remained as pastor until September
6th, 2000. After a time of revitalization
Brother Ray was called here to Union Baptist Church in
February 2002.
