Blaine Rogers

Blaine is a Christ-Follower, husband, father, son, brother, and Pastor. As part-time youth ministry begets full-time youth ministry, full-time youth ministry begets Senior Pastor - all that without changing congregations! He began his ministry at only 21 years old.  By the time he was 22 he was a full time senior pastor (a time in his life that in hindsight seems terribly scary). He has successfully pastored two congregations, and navigated both through a merger. The church is still successful today. He now serves as the Lead Pastor of First Free Will Baptist Church in Russellville, AR. He has successfully implemented a thriving family-based small-group ministry and developed the Hydrate Family Ministry Resource.
