Kenny Qualls - Senior
Pastor
636.296.2703 Ext. 108 kennyqualls@sbcglobal.net
I am a Missouri native from Springfield. I entered into a
personal relationship with Jesus as a freshman in college in
1981. I entered full time ministry in 1990. I had the privilege
of being Co-Pastor with Dr. Gerald Davidson here at FBC Arnold
from April, 2005 until June, 2006. I became the Senior Pastor on
June 4, 2006. It is a wonderful blessing to know Jesus and to
serve Him as Pastor in such a great church. As Pastor, I have
the focus of preaching, leading, shepherding and vision casting.
I am thankful for my wife Donna and our son and daughter. The
great joy of life is to know Jesus and to make Him known. You
are always welcome at FBC Arnold.

I became a follower of Jesus in August of 1986 at the age of 24.
Shortly after, God began to make clear to me a calling to the
Gospel Ministry. I had the privilege of coming to First Baptist
Arnold as your Pastor of Outreach in February, 2007. I have the
incredible blessing of leading in the areas of Evangelism and
Missions. We pray our church can equip believers through
“conference training“ and “field training”, to effectively reach
people with the Greatest Story Ever Told - JESUS! My family and
I thank God for allowing me to be one of your Pastors. |

Chris Mason- Worship
Pastor
chris.mason@fbca.us
636.296.2703 Ext. 128
I am a Missouri native growing up in Dexter, where I accepted
Jesus as my savior at the age of 8. It was at the age of 16 that
the Lord called me into full-time ministry. I attended Southwest
Baptist University where I received my Bachelors of Music. I
also met and married my wife Janet during this time and the Lord
has since blessed us with three amazing children - Jackson,
Davis and Mabree. After college, the Lord called me to Second
Baptist in Springfield, MO where I served as the Worship
Associate for three years. A short time after Second, He led me
back home to First Baptist Dexter where I served as Worship
Pastor for six years before being called to Arnold. Worship has
always been a passion of mine and I pray that God continues to
use the Worship Ministry of First Baptist Arnold to spread His
glory around the world!
