Fifty years ago Mack Morris surrendered to the Lord’s call into full-time ministry while attending Maple Avenue Baptist Church, Geneva. And since that day, he has been charging full speed ahead toward God’s will for his life.
Morris graduated from the University of Mobile and the Southern Baptist Center for Biblical Studies in Jacksonville, Florida, where he received a master of arts degree in biblical studies and a doctor of ministry degree.
Morris has served as pastor of Woodridge Baptist Church, Mobile, since 2000. He also has served at White House Fork Baptist Church, Bay Minette; Bethel Baptist Church, Citronelle; First Baptist Church, Tillman’s Corner; Heritage Baptist Church, Dothan; Old Spanish Fort Baptist Church (now Faith Family Fellowship), Spanish Fort; and Jubilee Baptist Church, Daphne.
Through the years, Morris has faithfully followed God’s call to lead churches as pastor, but he also has served as a leader among Alabama Baptists.
He has served the Mobile Baptist Association as moderator and served on the executive committee of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
“Morris has been and continues to be a leader among Southern Baptists in growing churches, reaching people for Christ and giving to missions,” said Morris’ secretary Cindy Smith. “Over the course of his calling, churches under his leadership have baptized over 2,500 people. Bro. Mack is greatly loved and valued by his congregation. We are grateful and blessed to have him at Woodridge.”
Morris will be honored Aug. 12, 10 a.m. at Woodridge Baptist with a special service and reception in the church’s fellowship hall from 2 to 4 p.m.
Morris and his wife, Kathy, have three children and two grandchildren.
