William “Bill” Merrill Faircloth Jr. — pastor of Liberty Baptist Church, Thomasville, for the past 18 years — died July 2. He was 74.
Faircloth, who came to faith in Christ as an adult and started his ministry in 1984, is known for preaching barefoot because of a personal conviction that the place where the word of God is preached is holy ground.
He is survived by his wife, Becky; daughters, Ashley and Paige; son, William III; and six grandchildren. (Grace Thornton)
