I have been on staff as an Assistant Pastor since 2008, and became Associate Pastor in 2019. I married Erin in 2008, and we have two amazing boys, Hudson and Charlie.

     I grew up in Southern California, but moved to DuBois in the middle of high school when my father (Pastor Mark) was called to pastor First Baptist Church. During my college years, I spent eight months living and working with missionaries in Durban, South Africa. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Clarks Summit University, a master’s degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and was ordained by First Baptist Church in 2014.

     I have a youthful spirit and a passion for introducing people to Jesus. My responsibilities include leading Common Ground (youth group), teaching and serving as the chaplain at DuBois Christians Schools, preaching, counseling, playing guitar on the praise teams, and individual discipleship.

In my “down time,” I enjoy spending time with my family, running, hunting, and fishing.

     Philippians 3:8 “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”

I have a BS in Business Administration and Marketing from Clarion University, and many years of experience in the business world in buyer communications, marketing, and public relations.

     At First Baptist Church my role is to form and maintain strong, positive relationships with our church families, new members and the local community. I also teach our "Strengthening Families" Sunday School class, and work closely with the pastoral staff.

I was born and raised in DuBois, PA, and have attended First Baptist Church from birth and graduated from DuBois Christian Schools in 2013. I earned a BS in Youth Pastoral Studies from Clarks Summit University in 2017 and have since served in various human services roles. My time spent teaching special education for three years greatly deepened my passion for working with young people. I am dedicated to teaching and guiding youth to understand the world through the lens of God's word.

In 2017 I married my wife Hannah, and we are blessed with three beautiful daughters: Murphy, Tahli, and Camille. Today, I serve at First Baptist Church, overseeing Christian Education, Discipleship, and Tech ministries, helping others grow in their faith and understanding of God's truth. At DuBois Christian Schools, I teach middle & high school history. I also play guitar for our praise team, and serve as a leader at Common Ground Youth Group. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, hunting, fishing, & golf.

Romans 11:33-36

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.”

  If anyone understands what it's like to get to church with little ones it's me!

    My husband, Matt, and I met in 2001 at Word of Life Bible Institute. From there we continued our education at Clarks Summit University where I studied Early Childhood Education. Over the course of our marriage the Lord has given us a desire to serve the families around us. I have always loved children, but after having kids of my own the Lord put mothers on my heart. My husband and I enjoy sharing our life with those around us.

     If you're a parent of little ones we would love to come alongside of you during this crazy, beautiful season of life!

Robby was born Portland, Oregon and moved to the east coast when he was adopted at age 5. Nicole was born here in DuBois, and was homeschooled before attending DCS for her senior year of high school. 

I have been Secretary at First Baptist Church since 1995.

     I graduated from DuBois High School, and was married to Dennis Tubbs for 53 years. (Dennis went home to be with the Lord in June 2016.) We have two children, and three grandchildren.

     My favorite Bible verses are Phillipians 4:6-7.

I grew up in Curwensville, PA and currently live in Treasure Lake, DuBois, PA. My family includes my wife, Patty; as well as our son, David. Our daughter, Jennifer Bailey, lives in York, PA with her husband, Keith, and our grandson, Ethan.

     I graduated from Curwensville Joint High School and DeVry Technical Institute of Chicago, IL. After over 35 years of service I retired from AT&T, and became Custodian at First Baptist Church and DuBois Christian Schools in October 2002.
