Rev. Earl Hendrix began his journey as a the Pastor of the Inman Mission church on April 22, 1967.  With guidance from the Lord and Rev. Earl’s willingness to put the hard work and countless hours in First Free Will Baptist church was established as a beacon that has been showing Christ love and impacting lives in the  Inman community and the greater Spartanburg area for forty-six years.

In 2009 , Rev. Earl announced the addition of the new associate Pastor, Sean Fortner.  With the ending of 2013, Rev. Earl once again followed the Lords guidance and resigned his position as head pastor.  We are very thankful to have had such a Godly leader for the past forty-six years, but now are looking to the future.  Rev. Earl is still an active member of the church and is still here for guidance for his brothers and sisters in Christ.
