Dave Pafford- Minister of Music/Education

(Above:Brother Dave and Marilyn Pafford)
It has been my privilege to be involved in the ministry for over thirty years. At age twenty-one, I made sure of my salvation and claimed Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. The Lord immediately called me to the ministry of music, and I surrendered to Him fully. Over thirty years later, through volunteer and full-time ministry, I have experienced God's blessings upon the ministries He has afforded me. August, 2008, will mark fourteen wonderful years of full time ministry at Bellmead Calvary Baptist Church.
This year my wife and I celebrated our thirty second wedding anniversary. Our twin daughters have been an enormous blessing to my wife and me. Each of our daughters has a bachelors degree from Baptist Bible College. Melissa is married to Tony Pennington. On Dec. 11, 2009, our first grandchild, Hailey Marie Pennington, was born. Tony is the youth minister at First Baptist Church in Mt. Calm and also a supervisor at Sanderson Farms. Melissa is currently employed full time with Baylor University. Melinda her husband, Mark Frizzell, are living in Chico, Tx. where he is youth pastor/music director at First Baptist Church. Melinda works as a teacher's aide at Chico Elementary.
