Raised in and around Kilgore, Texas, John-Daniel accepted Jesus as his Savior at the age of eight under the preaching of Dr. Laney Johnson at Mobberly Baptist Church. It was at Mobberly where he surrendered to vocational ministry.

​

His over a decade of ministry and pastoral experiences include serving as the Pastor of Caney Creek Baptist Church in Kilgore, Texas, and Minister of Groups at New Beginnings Baptist Church for their Longview Campus. 

He and his wife, Brittany Cutler, are in their 21st year of marriage and counting, and are blessed with three sweet children, who attend White Oak ISD.

Will was recently called to serve as our Associate Pastor. We are excited to see what God is going to do in and through his ministry here at EBC.

Cynthia serves as our Administrative Assistant in the office.
