Pastor's Page

Welcome to Calhoun First Baptist Church. We would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family. We invite you to come visit us.

At CFB, there are Bible studies and ministries for your entire family from babies to senior adults. It is important for you to know that all of our worship services and ministries are designed to reach families with the hope of Jesus Christ.

Since we believe the Bible is the Word of God, it is central to everything we do at CFB. We believe God's Word makes one wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as well as trains believers in righteousness and equips them for every good work (2 Tim 3.15-17). Therefore, our greatest need is to know, understand, and apply God's Word to our lives. This is our goal.

About Our Pastor

Toby accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of 6 during a revival service at Union Grove Baptist Church in Decatur, TN. At the age of 13, he announced his call to preach and was used by the Lord as a youth evangelist until being called to his first church as a youth pastor at the age of 19.

His wife, Johnna, was saved at the age of 15 during a Meigs County Football Choir singing at Meigs County High School. Her biggest ministry is supporting her pastor-husband and serving the church in the areas of teaching both children and ladies.

Toby served Greenwood Baptist Church until moving to New Orleans with his family for seminary. While in Louisiana, Toby has served two congregations as pastor and NOBTS as the Church-Minister Relations Consultant.

Toby earned his BS in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute. He earned his Mdiv at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing his DMin in Church Revitalization.

During his free time, Toby enjoys being in the beautiful outdoors of East Tennessee camping, fishing, hiking, or simply taking in God's amazing creation.
