Haggai: 001:008

Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

Rev. Cochran

Reverend Edward C. Cochran Sr. is a preacher who preaches and teaches the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a man of God who makes himself visible. Uninhibited by surroundings he can be found going where the need is the greatest. His down to earth style and innate ability to go into the highways and byways and meet you where you are is evidence that he is a man of God who is not afraid to let the life he leads speak for him.
He is a prepared preacher, teacher and evangelist with a special message and purpose. He is a scholar of God’s word who is totally committed to encouraging everyone he comes in contact with to turn their lives over to the Lord. His modern day method of expressions, animated and real life illustrations have been a blessing to everyone who has had the opportunity to hear him. Whether you are a youth or a senior, the relevance of his word will challenge you to reach into the depths of your soul and decide who you will serve.
Even with his busy schedule, Reverend Cochran is a devoted husband and father. He is married to the lovely Michelle Cochran and they have four children: Tara, Elisabeth, Edward Jr. and Eron. He truly believes family is one of the most important ingredients to a successful ministry.
Rev. Cochran is amoung the most sought after Preachers in the nation. Wherever he goes lives are changed, souls are saved, and bodies are healed. While many are called and few are chosen there is absolutely no doubt Rev. Cochran is a man favored by God.

Back of the Church Ministry:
 
During Pastor Cochran’s 2012 anniversary, as new members, we were a little confused as to whether there was a special time to present our financial gifts. The son of one of the church members (a new member) recognized there were many ministries reporting and when he took our love offering to the front of the church, he presented it to Pastor from the “Back of the Church Ministry”; which Pastor and the church got a real laugh from. We believe that in the spirit realm Pastor discerned the heart of the group, whom he had observed sitting in the back of the church during Sunday services and during some of his speaking engagements.
When Pastor Cochran threw up the “peace” sign, it sent a message from heaven to two of the members which meant “Get in behind this man of God.” The peace sign was something their late mother would do when she approved of their actions. So back of the church threw up the peace sign in recognition and confirmation.
Back of the Church began with a group of people who love sitting together (needless to say in the back of the church) and whose hearts are to serve ministry without special recognition. There are various ranges of faith-based experiences, many talents, and anointing’s within the group.

Historical Highlights of Floyd Chapel Baptist Church
 
Floyd Chapel was first built in the year of 1880. In the early years the history was not recorded.
In the late 1920's the church was a wood framed church with steep plank steps facing the east. There were oil lamps hanging on each side of the wall, a coal heater and the floors were not carpeted. The bathroom facilities were located outside. At this time the Pastor was Reverend Sanders. The other ministerial staff was Reverend Collins and Reverend Brown. The deacons at this time were Deacon Charlie Knight, Deacon Len Minter, Deacon Darton, Deacon Dock Pittman, Deacon Will Walker, Deacon Jim Murry, Deacon Hank Williams and Deacon John Gordon.

In 1949, under the leadership of Reverend R. B. Thomas a new church was built. The old wood frame building was torn down and the church was erected with the existing blocks. This structure was turned to face First Street. Carpet was installed and the benches were made of wood. These benches were also used as Dinner tables when dinner was served.
Floyd Chapel has been blessed with the leadership of several different Pastors and great things happened under the leadership of most.

In 1990 our present Pastor, Reverend Edward C. Cochran was installed as leader of this flock. The active deacons during this time were Deacon George Franks, Deacon Harold Franks, and Deacon Jacob Edmond. There were approximate 12 active members. Under the guidance of Pastor Cochran, many new and exciting changes have been implemented.

Since 1990, our membership has grown from 12 active members to over 200 active members. Pastor Cochran was the only minister in 1990. Our ministerial staff has grown to include 11 Associates. Pastor Cochran and Floyd Chapel Baptist Church as licensed 9 ministers and ordained 1. Twelve deacons have been ordained under this leadership.

In or around May of 1996, ground was broken on our new fellowship hall. In 1997, our new fellowship hall was completed and later named "Floyd Chapel Baptist Church Memorial Hall" in honor of our deceased members who departed this life prior to the completion of this dream.

On January 26, 19997, new established departments were implemented; they are the Men's Department; Women's Department, Youth Department, Music Department, Evangelistic Outreach and Drug and Alcohol Ministry.
We purchased the vacant house and land located at 106 First Street in June of 1998. The small blue wood house that occupied this land was torn down and at this time the lot is vacant waiting on our physical growth.

In March of 1999, we purchased the land located at the corner of Berry Street and First Street. We also purchased a 25 passenger bus in December of 1999.

In 2000, Pastor Cochran in obedience to God, established 4 new ministries: Nurses Ministry, Media Ministry(Video), Youth Ministry and the Ministerial Spouses Counsel. One Deacon was added to the Deacon Ministry (Deacon Malcolm Jennings). We also was blessed with one new Minister, (Reverend Edward Hunter). The Youth Ministry have their own services on Thursday nights. Their service at this time is called "Teen Expressions".
In May, 2001 Floyd Chapel published our firs ever cookbook called "Feeding the Flock" with over 120 years of recipes and remembrances. We licensed one new Minister, Jocelyn Poellnitz on Sunday, May 6, 2001 and in this same year was blessed with the union of another, Minister Tony Hayes.

In January 2002, Floyd Chapel started our first Midweek services on Wednesday nights starting at 7:30pm. This has allowed the associate ministers to bring the word. In April, 2002, Floyd Chapel published our first newsletter called "Spotlight News". The first issue was dedicated to our beloved pastor and first lady.
 
In May 2002, Floyd Chapel started our first summer camp. 2002 was also the birth of our vision...God said, build my house.
We are growing, in every aspect of the word, both spiritually and physically. God is truly blessing us here.
