About Us

Dr. R Shawn Edwards,
Associational Mission Strategist
 
Dr. Shawn Edwards has come back to his beginnings in his service here, being born in Hardin County, though he spent most of his growing up years in Glasgow. At the age of eight, after witnessing his cousin’s baptism, he realized his need for Christ.  God called him into full-time Christian service years later while at WKU.  He continued his education by getting his Masters of Divinity at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his Doctor of Ministry from Luther Rice Seminary. 
 
During his ministry, Shawn has served as a full-time pastor in churches in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Franklin, North Carolina; and Hebron and Vine Grove, Kentucky.  He is excited about serving in the association. 
 
Shawn has been married to his college sweetheart, Vivian, for over thirty years.  They have two children, Cameron and Katelyn.  In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family, U.K. basketball, and watching old movies.
