NOTE: While serving as interim pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church, Hopkinsville, KY., my revival schedule will be limited, but feel free to contact me as to dates that may be available.

Don Mathis holds the distinction of being the only person in the last fifty years to be twice elected President of the Kentucky Baptist Convention. In 1985-1986, he served as President while pastor of Central Baptist Church, Corbin, Ky. Then, in his second term, 2009-2010, is the only Vocational Evangelist ever elected as KBC president.

A personal word from Bro. Don to churches and pastors:

Virtually all of my adult life, I have been pastor of Southern Baptist churches. My ministries outside the pastorate have been in response to a call from God to encourage pastors. I think like, feel like, and talk like a pastor. If you feel led of God to invite me to preach in your church, I will attempt to be an extension of the ministry of the pastor. I pledge to be prayed-up and ready to preach. When the meeting is over, I pray that your church will have seen souls saved, the church revived, and your leadership enhanced. I will try to practice the ethics among your people that I wanted practiced by evangelists who preached in the five churches where I have served as pastor.

For my first five years in full-time evangelism, my wife and I were active members of First Baptist Church, Portland, TN.  I served an eight-month interim at First Baptist before the arrival of Pastor Greg McCoy.  Since then, it has been my privilege to be an encourager and to be encouraged by a great and godly pastor.  I am grateful to have preached revivals at FBC in 1999, 2002, 2004, and 2006.  The church and Bro. Greg continue as partners in my ministry, and I can be contacted through First Baptist, Portland.  

In 2004, we moved our residence and ministry to Bowling Green, KY. My wife and I are members of Eastwood Baptist Church where I am staff evangelist.  It was my privilege to have been Interim Pastor at Eastwood during 1998.  I have preached at Eastwood in revivals and numerous other occasions.  We are grateful for the leadership of our wonderful pastor, Tom James, and for the membership of Eastwood.  I can be contacted through Eastwood, Bowling Green at (270) 842-7867.  

I believe in the New Testament church and believe that the calling of Evangelist is primarily that of encouraging and assisting churches in carrying out the Great Commission.  I tithe, as I believe the New Testament teaches, through the treasury of the church where I am a member.  I am grateful for the godly pastors with whom I have the privilege of serving our Lord Jesus Christ.
