FBC Eufaula’s Wilkinson marks 25 years as student minister

Chris Wilkinson said it’s been amazing to watch God work during the 25 years he’s served as student minister at First Baptist Church, Eufaula, in Barbour Baptist Association.

“I’m most thankful for the many students I have been able to build relationships with over that time and to watch them grow in their relationship with Jesus,” he said. “Some of those students now have kids in our student ministry which is pretty cool to me.” 

Wilkinson joked the milestone means he’s getting old but Pastor Ken Bush said it just means Wilkinson has a long history of faithfulness. 

Wilkinson and his wife, Lori,  “have done a magnificent job for the Lord,” Bush said. “He has led young people to love Jesus and be committed servants. What a testimony for Chris to have several young people go into the ministry,” Bush said. “Chris has cared for young people as faithfully as any person ever could.” (Grace Thornton)
