Jon DeBell - Interim Pastor
Rev. Jonathan DeBell Interim Pastor

Pastor Jon is serving First Baptist Church as our Interim Pastor. Before retiring, he served East City Church in Charlotte as their Senior Pastor for 35 years. One of his greatest joys was seeing East become a diverse multicultural congregation. When not working with other churches as their Interim, Jon continues to be a part of the pastoral team at East serving as their Missions Pastor. He also takes an active role in Mercy and Grace Ministries, participating in mission trips to the Yoro region of Honduras. Penny, Jon's wife, enjoys being a part of the First Family as she is a native of Rowan County.
