Senior Pastor
Jacob Capps
Pastor Jacob Capps, from Greensboro, NC, originally came to the First Baptist Church in March of 2018 then God called him away in 2020. The year 2020 was not only a wild one due to the pandemic, but Jacob and Hope got married at the end of August, moved to Matthews, NC, bought a house, and started new jobs. They welcomed their little girl, Lyza Anne, into this world in October 2021. Then in July 2022, First Baptist called Jacob and Hope back to Wallace to come on staff as the Associate Pastor for Family Ministry. During this time their second little girl, Lainey Ruth, blessed them with her presence. In November of 2023, First Baptist Church called Jacob to be the new Senior Pastor.
Jacob holds a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in Pineville, KY. He is currently pursuing his Masters in Church Revitalization at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. After accepting the call into ministry, he has served in a full-time Student Pastor role since 2014.
In his downtime, Jacob loves spending time with his wife, daughters, and their three amazing dogs, fishing, golfing, fitness, and taking care of his grass!
