Republic Free Will Baptist Church

We Believe About our Pastor
  1. We believe the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, as the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God.

  2. We believe there is one living and true God, revealed in the scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; yet

  3. We believe that Christ is God manifest in the flesh ; in His divine nature truly God, in his human nature truly man. The mediator between God and man, once crucified, He has now risen and glorified, and is our present Savior and Lord.

  4. We believe that man was created innocent, but by disobedience fell into a state of sin and condemnation.

  5. We believe that God desires the salvation of all, the Gospel invites all, the Holy Spirit strives with all, and whosoever will, may come and be saved.

  6. We believe that all believers in Christ, who through grace persevere in holiness to the end of life, have promise of eternal life.

  7. We believe that every truly born again soul should declare his faith by the act of baptism (immersion in water).

In 1985 Pastor Don Anderson was ordained into the ministry after being licensed for one year and serving as pastor of Pleasant Ridge Free Will Baptist Church in Urbana, Mo. He worked for the Missouri State Home Mission Board as pastor for seven years in Moberly, Mo.

In 1995 he came to Republic, Mo. to pastor Republic Free Will Baptist Church which was a mission project. He has been pastor here from that time until present.

He and his wife, Carol,have been married for 49 years and have 4 children with 10 grandchildren.
At present they have 3 great-grand children.

In that 20+ years the church has went through some changes. The greatest change was a multi-purpose building that was built on the property and the removal of the older deteriorating one.
God has blessed with many souls being saved. To Him be the glory!
