Senior Pastor


The Reverend Jeanne Hollifield Baucom is a North Carolina native. A graduate of Clemson University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, she has also done postgraduate studies in Clinical Pastoral Education. Following her educational pursuits, Jeanne began her active ministry right here at FBCL as Minister of Education (1986-1993). Since then, she has been “on the move” with her spouse, Roger. She has served in several other ministerial positions, including children’s ministry and hospice chaplaincy. Jeanne enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially their two grown children and their K-9 companions. She also enjoys reading, traveling, walking outdoors, and making music with God’s people. Jeanne is delighted to be back home here in Laurinburg, and is grateful for this opportunity to continue the journey with the good people of First Baptist.
