Evangelist Eloise J. Casper

At the early age of ten years old, Evangelist Eloise Casper (74 years of age) accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized by Rev. W. A. Roberts and became a member of First Baptist Missionary Church of Taylorsville (now known as New First Baptist

Church, Taylorsville).

Evangelist Casper has been married for 57 years to Willie L. Casper, Jr. and they are blessed to have four children: Cynthia Adams of Chesapeake, Jacquelyn Williams of Fairfield, CA, Willie Casper III of Jarratt, VA and Eric E. Casper (deceased), five grand-children: Eric, Alicia, Nicole, Olivia, and Mia and six great grandchildren. She attended the Portsmouth Public School System and is a graduate of Chesapeake School of Technology. In 1997, she retired from Portsmouth General Hospital after 28 years of nursing service.

Evangelist Casper, the daughter of late Deacon James and Sister Ethel Jackson, spent her childhood as a member of the Church Sunday School and teaching as a young adult. She received her formal training for the Church Sunday School under the guidance of Ms. Ethel B. Williams and Mrs. Willia Parker, both deceased. Evangelist Casper has continued to be active in church ministry. She teaches the Ladies Adult Sunday School Class #1, a member of the Senior Missionary Ministry, Senior’s Ministry, attends the Mid-week Prayer Service and Adult Bible Study and a Vacation Bible School Teacher. Evangelist Casper was honored to be the “first” Ministry Leader of the “first” Women’s Ministry of New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville). On May 28, 2005, she received her Evangelist License from Mount Carmel Mission School of Evangelism, Norfolk, VA under the auspices of Bishop C. Vernie Russell, Jr. DD, Dean.

Evangelist Casper is also active in her community serving as President of Camelot Seniors Club in Chesapeake, VA, a member of the Chesapeake Seniors Council of Chesapeake, VA and the Red Hatters of Chesapeake and Portsmouth. On April 21, 2005, she received the Chesapeake, VA, Certificate of Completion for the Chesapeake Neighborhood Leadership Fundamentals Course. Evangelist Casper also enjoys sewing and cooking.

What do Evangelist Casper love about New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville): My father brought me here as a young child. I feel this church is a part of my family, even those that have passed on help build my faith in God. I love everyone here and I feel everyone loves me too. That’s what it’s all about.

Evangelist Casper’s favorite scripture is Psalm 37:4, “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” and her favorite Christian song is “The Lord has Smile on Me, He has Set Me Free”. She believes it is important to tell the story of salvation through Jesus Christ (John 3:16) and desire to live a life that is pleasing to God and be an instrument that He can use to help win souls for Jesus Christ. New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) is blessed by her willingness to share the word of the Lord with ALL.

Congratulations to our “Senior in the Spotlight,” Evangelist Eloise J. Casper.
