About The Church
Kimesville Road Baptist Church is an independent, fundamental, Baptist church. Organized in 1976 under the leadership of Pastor Max Rich and holding its first meeting in a house located on Kimesville Road just west of the present location. The property has undergone many new remodeling projects and the life center was added in 2006. The church currently serves under the leadership of Pastor Jay O’Dell.
Pastor Jay O’Dell received Jesus as his Lord and Saviour in July 1992. He began teaching Sunday School, being active in the bus ministry, working with youth, and serving in various ministry needs shortly thereafter. Surrendering to preach in 2009, he saw his need of being grounded in the Word of God and began pursuing a degree in Bible from Greensboro Bible Institute. After many years, he sought to go back to college and finished his bachelor’s degree in 2023 from West Coast Baptist College.
Pastor Jay and his wife, Sharon, have three grown children: Johnathon and his wife, Brittany, Amber and her husband, Peter, and Amanda and her husband, Ethan. They have three grandchildren: Aidan, Savannah, and Jaxon.
