My name is Paul Nawlin. I am number nine of ten kids (5 girls and 5 boys) from Opp, Alabama. The Lord blessed us with parents that know the Lord and raised us up with the reality of knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

I was (born again) at 18 years old in 1983 and called to preach in 1984. I must confess and say these years of my life and ministry have been filled with God's blessings and grace. There have been challenges, but Jesus has been more than enough.

God gave me the young lady that was made for me, Brenda Peavy. After 32 years of marriage, 3 children (Beverly, Benjamin, and Nathan) and 10 grandchildren, we are all still amazed at God's goodness.

I pastored in Alabama until moving to Florida in 2002. 

I have been in various types of ministry; radio, TV, nursing home, schools, missions, and prisons. I am also the founder of Character Education Now.

We are excited to be at First Baptist Church of Steinhatchee. We look forward to pastoring and serving our Lord til He comes.

Come join us,

Paul Nawlin

Romans 8:28

Hi there...my name is Marcia Wood Bratcher. My family is one of the first to come to Steinhatchee in the early 1900's. I've lived here my whole life, which is 50 something years. It was amazing to grow up in this little town. Everyone knew each other and helped each other out. It was a great childhood, my parents made sure of that.

I have been married for 26 years and was blessed with three sons. All three are married, so I have daughters as well. I am also blessed with six grandchildren. They are amazing by the way!

The Lord blessed me with the opportunity to serve as the office manager of our church about 15 years ago. I enjoy being part of the church staff and being able to  serve the Lord and our church members, as well as our pastor. My goal is to always try and be available to those in need in our town and in our church family. It is a joy to serve the Lord each and every day.

Marcia
