OUR STAFF AT FBC HAMILTON, TEXAS
Pastor
REV. DREW DABBS D. Min
Drew is originally from Mississippi, but he wants everyone to know he got to Texas as quickly as he could. After competing his B.A. in Christian Studies at Mississippi College, he came to Baylor’s Truett Seminary, where, in addition to earning a Master of Divinity, he met Emily. (They’re both from the same hometown but first met at Truett!) They’ve been married since July 2007 and have five children: Evangeline, Trey, Annabelle, Emma Faith, and Collin. The Dabbs family has been with us here at FBC since June 1, 2015. In their second year here, God provided Drew with the opportunity to pursue a Doctorate of Ministry at Truett, which he completed in August 2019.
People often ask him, “What should we call you: Brother, Reverend, Pastor, Doctor?” He always says, “Just call me Drew,” and he means it. He’s a pretty down-to-earth kind of guy, who loves the Lord, his family, his church, and the whole Hamilton community.
Reflecting on his time in Hamilton, Drew says this: “I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that God made me for this and called me to this. I love living here and raising my children here. I love this place and these people. I love getting to be a friend and pastor, not just to the people in our church, but to people all around Hamilton.”
