Welcome to First Baptist Church Hilton Head Island!
First Baptist Church Hilton Head Island is a Southern Baptist church located across the street from the Atlantic Ocean on beautiful Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We use the Bible to teach about the Lord Jesus Christ through our various ministries. The goal of the church is for every person to know that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, to have fellowship with Him and a Christian body of believers, and to use their gifts and talents in service to the Lord, helping others to know and understand His saving grace.
Our church is a place where “islanders and island visitors worship together”. We warmly welcome guests from all over our country and world. If you are new to the island, a long-time resident, or a visitor from another place, we invite you to join us not only for worship but to also take advantage of everything our church has to offer you and your family.
You can learn about what we believe as Southern Baptists via “The Baptist Faith and Message”.
Meet The Staff
Brett grew up in Laurel, MS and in Gainesville, GA. Brett has been married to Kristin since June 4, 2005, and they have four cute little girls, Eden, Karis, Lydia, and Abigail; so our pastor gets regular hair-brushing sessions at home with “his girls.”
Brett is full of excitement and energy as he leads our church to build on our rich history and to continue to become a church focused on reaching those outside our walls. He is passionate about preaching God’s Word accurately and applicably, about making disciples who make disciples, and about investing himself into our staff and leadership.
Brett earned a BS in Business Management from Berry College, a M.Div in Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, a MBA in Leadership from Brenau University, and is pursuing a D.Min in Catalytic Leadership in Church Planting from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
