Pastor Dan Odom
In October of 2006 the Lord began working in my heart concerning Pastoring.
It was in this month that I surrendered to the call of Pastoring.
It was not until December 2010 that the Lord opened the door for me to Pastor.
I am very thankful to be in the ministry here at Welcome Road Baptist Church.
The Lord has truly blessed my family in giving us the opportunity to serve Him through
this local ministry.
Next to salvation, the greatest gift God has given to me is my wife Cheryl.
We were married in April of 2003, and I am thankful to have her full support in the ministry.
She has assisted me with our youth group and Sunday School class, and participates in our music program as an accomplished pianist.
Most importantly, she supports me through prayer. We have two children, Miranda Rose And Zack.
I was raised in a fundamental, Independent Baptist home and church.
My father has been in the ministry full-time since I was ten years old,
and was my pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Fayetteville, GA.
I saw my need for Christ as my Savior and accepted Him as my Savior when I was 13 years old.
This occurred at Calvary Heights Baptist Churchunder Pastor Ralph Harrelson,
and soon after my salvation I was scripturally baptized.
The Lord called me to preach when I was seventeen years old, and I surrendered to that call.
I was ordained November 2, 2003 at the age of 23, and began work as Associate Pastor at that time.
I am an active member of F.C.A. of Coweta County. I volunteer on a weekly basis during the school year.
