Acknowledgements
It takes a great deal of work for something like this to “come together.” Projects like this take much time and require diligence! So, I would like to begin by acknowledging Sue Fudge and Christina Sanders, specifically, for all the time and all the hard work they devoted to this project. Not only did they volunteer for this undertaking, they followed through by gathering information, compiling it, organizing it, and printing it! If not for their dedication to this project, you would not have it in your hands today.
My thanks also goes to Kevin Fudge and Richard Sanders for all the help and encouragement they were to their wives during the months in which this project has been “in progress.”
We also wish to acknowledge a generous donation from Meadors Funeral Home in Republic. They generously provided use of a color printer free of charge. This allowed us to provide full color pictures at virtually no cost to the church family.
Once the printing was complete, there were a number of individuals who helped assemble the final project you now have before you.
I also want to thank each and every one of you who provided your information so that we could include it within this volume!

“Where YOU Belong!” A Note From Pastor
Dear Church Members:
Our slogan at West Republic Baptist Church (WRBC) is “Where
YOU Belong!” This church is not a building—but a body of believers. We,
as members, are WRBC—and we are a family! We are a spiritual family
bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, bonded together with Him forever!
What we experience together as a New Testament local church, as we
fellowship together, is just a little taste of heaven on earth.
So, this is much more than a “church directory.” It is a family photo
album! In addition to photos of our brothers and sisters in Christ, it also
contains information that will help us know each other better, keep in
contact more easily, and pray for one another more specifically. Recognizing
that, we desire, and expect, our family to grow. So, the online directory
makes it possible to make additions more easily and quickly than a hard
copy.
I would like to thank Christina Sanders for all her hard work in
completing this edition of the WRBC Church Directory! Very few people
understand all the work involved in such a project. Christina did a great job,
and all her hard work is appreciated!
Believers, life is not always easy, but having a church family to pray
with you when life is tough, and to rejoice with you when things are going
well, makes the valleys more endurable and the mountaintops all the more
thrilling! May we always continue to encourage and uplift one another, and
may we consistently invite others—not only to church—but, most
importantly, to come to know Christ as their personal Savior!
May God bless you—and may God continue to bless West Republic
Baptist Church!
Dr. Christopher Beck WRBC Pastor I Samuel 12:24
