Robert Fullerton, who has served as Limestone Baptist Association’s director of missions (DOM) for more than 15 years, will retire Dec. 31.
Fullerton earned a bachelor’s degree from Samford University in Birmingham and later a master of divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a doctor of ministry degree at a Luther Rice Seminary extension center.
After his calling to the ministry in 1968, Fullerton became pastor of Unity Baptist Church, Fayette. He later served as pastor of Maurepas Baptist Church, Maurepas, La., while in seminary and of two Mississippi Baptist churches. He served as pastor of First Baptist Church, Livingston, and later as minister of administration and education at Hillwood Baptist Church, Hunstville.
After his retirement Fullerton will remain on staff as an interim DOM until the association finds a replacement.
Fullerton said he learned to be diligent and “keep on striving to accomplish the things God has led you to do.”
“Have some endurance and don’t give up on things,” he said.
He and his wife, Ann, will remain in Athens after retirement. They are members of First Baptist Church, Athens, and have one daughter and three grandchildren.
Ann retired in the fall after having served as Fullerton’s administrative assistant since he took on the DOM role in 1999.
