Scott Higginbotham

I was raised in Amarillo, Texas and came to know the Lord at the age of six. I met my wife, Kiley, while we attended Amarillo College. We both served on the Baptist Student Ministries council while at AC. I am a graduate of Wayland Baptist University (BA, 1999) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div, 2005). We have a dalmatian named Jake who is spoiled rotten. I love stories of all types, and so stories usually consume my spare time (TV, movies, books, drama, art). Kiley helped me discover that I also love rollercoasters, and so we ride new coasters when we can. I like to compete, too, so I love competitive things like sports, card games, board games, and trivia games.

When Kiley and I came to Lampasas 4 years ago, I really had no idea what to expect. After all, neither of us had ever lived anywhere smaller than 200,000 people, and I had never been in a situation where I could devote all my working time to ministry with students. With a lot of God-driven excitement and unknown-awaiting nerves, I plunged into youth ministry at First Baptist Church. What an adventure it has been! Lots of laughter, lots of tears, many friends whom we will cherish for the years to come. We have lots of memories here! As I begin as pastor of Lexington Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, I want you to know that I will often think of First Baptist; I am grateful for the invaluable lessons learned and the experiences we have shared! Here is Lexington’s address should you want to take a gander on Google maps at our new location…

Lexington Baptist Church
3525 South Padre Island Drive
Corpus Christi, TX  78415

In Lampasas, TX, there are thousands of people who still need to hear the Gospel and who are ready for the living Christ to come and redeem them from the crushing weight of sin. We leave knowing that FBC is capable of sending workers to Africa, to Europe, to south Texas. But look! The fields around you are white for harvest… Therefore, join the happy labor!
