Men's Ministry

Leader: Brandon Tuck

Jesus said in the book of Matthew 22:37 “Love the lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Here at PBC we as men try to live up to what Jesus said. We have a great ministry with this vision “For all men to grow fruitful through the word of Jesus Christ.” Some folks ask “How many do you have in your ministry?” I say all of them. Every man here is important to our church’s ministry. We as men are called by God to be spiritual leaders of our homes and of our families. We also serve in our local community from small home projects to visiting local nursing homes. We also have a blast getting together and studying God’s word in a small group setting. Our Men’s Ministry has become known for our apple butter that we make in the fall. It’s a lot of work, but worth all the time and effort. So if you are looking for adventure and excitement look no further. From Bible Studies to dove hunting, we’ve got it. So come learn more about what Jesus has called us as men to do. We will be looking for you.

Leader: Brad Bays

Quest Ministries has been a valuable part of Palestine Baptist Church for about 10 years now. The word Quest can be defined – In search of – and our mission is to use sports and other activities to find and cultivate relationships with the un-churched of our community. We have become very well known primarily because of the Wild Game Dinner we have each year in February. However, we also host the Fishers of Men bass tournament series each year, as well as many other activities. Some events we have hosted over the years have been golf tournaments, kickball tournaments, children’s fishing tournaments, volleyball tournaments, opening day lunch for hunting season, and even a Fall festival. We plan to continue to reach out to our community with similar type events in the future.
