Perry McCain began serving as FBC Purvis’ Minister of Music in July 2022. He has over 30 years of experience in music and worship ministry, serving churches in Texas, Colorado, and Georgia. Perry started college at The University of Southern Mississippi but, after a few years, transferred to Texas A&M University, where he earned a degree in psychology. He also studied church music at the Lamont School of Music (University of Denver) and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. He’s been married to his wife, Mary, for 31 years, and they have three young-adult children. Perry says he appreciates the loving people of FBC Purvis, and the staff is one of the best he’s ever served with.

Joshua and his wife Jennifer have two children, Amelia and Emmett.  Joshua came to FBC Purvis as Interim Youth Minister in April 2022 and was called as our Full time Youth Minister in August 2022.

Donna came to FBC in January, 1997 and has been a member here since then.  She and her husband, Clemmer, have one daughter, Lacey, son-in-law Austin, and two grandchildren Kase and Layke.

Connie and her husband Scott have been members of FBC Purvis since 2004. They are proud parents of two sons, Myles and Mason, daughter- in- law, Anna and granddaughter, Ella.  She joined the staff of FBC in December  2021.

Olivia Noblitt has a small but wonderful little family. Her husband’s name is Patrick and he works for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and a daughter named Rosemarie “Rosie” who is two years old. The Noblitt family joined First Baptist in 2024. She feels so blessed to be at First Baptist Church of Purvis as the new children’s coordinator and she is  excited to see what this next year brings and watch God’s plan unfold. She prays that everything that she does brings Glory to His name and His name alone! 

Andrew has been our Church Accompanist since August 2012, and bless his heart, he’s been a true gift to our congregation. From the moment he starts playing the piano, you know the Holy Spirit is right there with him. Whether he’s leading our Sunday morning services, playing piano for the Sounds of Praise and Sounds of Grace choirs, or directing the Woman's Choir, Andrew’s musical talents are a testament to his dedication and love for the Lord.
 Hailing from the rolling hills of West Virginia, Andrew has been making music for over 30 years. He studied piano at Alderson-Broaddus College, and we’re pretty sure those lessons involved a few heavenly interventions.
 During the week, Andrew trades his piano keys for a role as a Multidisciplinary Team Facilitator at Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center, where he’s making a difference in the lives of children. His work is a reminder that true service to others happens both in the church and beyond its walls. We’re grateful for his unwavering faith, talent, and the way he shares his gifts with us every week.

Mike came to work at FBC in November, 1994 and has been a member since 1997. He and his wife, Carolyn, have one son, Shelby.
