About
Dr. Blake Gideon
Senior Pastor
Edmond's First Baptist Church
Blake
and his wife Kelly have four children. Blake graduated from
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2005 with his Undergraduate
Degree in Theology. Later, in 2008, he graduated from Southwestern
Seminary with his Masters Degree in Religious Education and has also
completed his Masters Degree in Divinity. He completed his DMin at New
Orleans Theological Seminary in 2015. Other than spending time with his
family, Blake enjoys bass fishing, hunting, CrossFit training, and
reading.
Blake came to faith in Christ on April 14, 2000, after
spending many years of his life believing he was saved. At the age of
nine he had gone forward in a church service and told the pastor "I
believe in Jesus," the next Sunday he was baptized. Sadly, it was only
an act of going through the motions. There was no sincerity of heart.
However,
at the age of 24, he finally realized that salvation was not about
going through the religious motions. Instead salvation involves a total
surrendering of one’s life to Christ as Savior and Lord. This involves
repentance and faith. Repentance is a change of mind, which results in a
changed behavior and faith is more than belief, its commitment.
Thus,
on April 14, 2000, by God’s grace, turning away from living life for
himself and completely surrendering to Jesus as Savior and Lord, Blake
became a new man in Christ. His life has never been the same since!
