Leadership

Pastor Doug Foster shepherds Immanuel Baptist Church, preaching the King James Bible verse by verse and leading the church family with a pastor's heart. His prayer for every person who walks through the doors is a simple one: that they would meet Jesus, be grounded in the Word of God, and find a church family to belong to.

For years this church has been a place where the lost find salvation, the hopeless find refuge, the distressed find encouragement, and the forsaken find a home. Pastor Foster believes an old-fashioned, Bible-believing church still has the answers to life's hardest struggles — because the God of the Bible has not changed.

Beyond the pulpit in Florence, Pastor Foster carries a deep burden for the nations. He helps lead the church's worldwide missions work — including Christ for the Caribbean and the Immanuel International Bible Institute — training and encouraging pastors far beyond our own community. Whether you are exploring the faith for the first time or looking for a church home, he and the whole church family would love to welcome you this Sunday.
