Pastor and Wife, Dr. Tim Russell and Glenette

First Sunday, February 7, 2010

     Dr. Russell is forty-nine years old and has been married to Glenette since 1981.  They have raised two children, Hollie and Brent.   He has pastored five churches including First Baptist Church, Burkburnett, Texas, and First Baptist Church, Woodward, Oklahoma.  The past five years he has served as the Executive Director-Treasurer of the Capital Baptist Association in Oklahoma City. He has a degree from the Oklahoma Baptist University, a masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Glenette is a teacher in the Yukon School system.  She was raised in a pastor's home and says that she taught Tim "all that he knows".  They are a wonderful team.

     His personal testimony tells how he was "gloriously" saved at youth camp the summer before his senior year of high school.  The following summer he sensed God's call on his life to enter the ministry.
