Carl Hubbert, Senior Pastor
Pastor Carl Hubbert grew up in East Tennessee. He graduated in 1986 from Cleveland High School in Cleveland, TN and attended First Baptist Church of Cleveland as a youth. He came to know Jesus as a freshman in High School and became active and involved in the youth ministry of FBCC. By his senior year he diligently sought God’s guidance as to where he should attend college. God responded and led him to Auburn University where Carl graduated with a BS in Business Administration. Upon graduation, he took a job in New Orleans with Russell Stover’s Candies. While New Orleans wasn’t his first choice, God confirmed His call through Acts 18:9-10, “One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” Certain where God wanted him to be, Carl moved to New Orleans and joined First Baptist Church of Kenner, Louisiana. It was through that church, and the godly leadership of Dr. Joe McKeever, that God moved in Carl’s heart and called him to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. While attending seminary, he met his wife Pam and they were married in 1996. He graduated with a Master of Divinity a year later. Carl has pastored churches in Louisiana, Alabama, and Nebraska and is thrilled to be back “home” in the East Tennessee area. He and his wife have three children, Kaitlyn, Jonathan, and Landon. In addition to preaching and teaching, Pastor Carl enjoys reading, photography, video games, and sports.
