Rather than being a place where people far from God are met with shame, guilt, and condemnation, Jesus leads us to be a family that extends His grace, mercy, and forgiveness to everyone. No matter what you’ve been through or what questions you might have, we want you to be a part of the family.
Coffee + Pastries Provided At The Coffee Bar In The Family Room!
We have a very loving and supportive church family and hope that makes an impression on you as well as the preaching & worship through music does. We would love for you to join us as we seek to encourage one another and worship God together.







First Baptist Church, Hughes Springs welcomes our new Sr Pastor Nathan Chester and his wife Cassady!
In his words… My name is Nathan Chester, and I am from Memphis, TN. I married my wife Cassady in October 2023, and we are thrilled to now serve the Lord in Hughes Springs! We know and trust that He will do amazing things!
I graduated with my Masters of Divinity from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in 2023, and I’m now working toward a doctorate in Discipleship at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
My hobbies include basketball, tennis, ultimate frisbee, and basically anything sporty! I’m also a major film buff, and I love to read.
In her words… Hi, I’m Cassady Chester! I was born in San Antonio TX but moved around while growing up in a military family. I went to college in North Carolina to study Event Management and moved to Memphis after graduating. I have an older brother who lives in England and two wonderful parents in Allen, TX. I enjoy reading, watching movies, and doing anything creative/crafty, especially painting. Nathan and I married in 2023, and we have a rescue dog named Toast who brings a lot of joy (and chaos) to our home. I am so blessed to be joining y’all in Hughes Springs and am so eager to get to know this community. Nathan and I cannot wait to serve the Lord in this calling!
