Charles Williams God sent me to Thrift Baptist Church 7+ years ago. He used the scripture Joshua 1:9 which says "Remember that I command you to be strong and brave. Don't be afraid, because the Lord God will be with you everywhere you go." He has been with me and blessed me ever since I came to Thrift. I have a wonderful wife named Peggy, 3 sons and 1 daughter. We also have 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. We would love to have you come and worship with us and get the "Thrift excitement." We have a little of both contemporary and traditional in our worship service so that everyone can enjoy.
Josh Lathan I was born on March 15th, 1987 in Monroe, NC. I was raised in a great church home where the family was at church every time the doors were open. It was not until the beginning of my fifth grade year that my family moved to Charlotte, when my dad became pastor at Thrift Baptist Church. From the time I was a little boy, I wanted to be a meteorologist. Going through ROTC all four years in high school, I was able to receive a 4-year ROTC scholarship that would allow me to go to the Air Force with a meteorology degree at UNC-C. I was in the UNC-C program for a semester and a half. However, God had other plans in my life as the revelation of my purpose in life slowly rose to the surface. I had a burden for the youth group so I started helping out with them. This grew into an immense passion. I knew that God was beginning to open my eyes to his plan. Weather was a fascinating hobby of mine, but not my purpose. I yielded my control over to Jesus Christ. God opened the door and I am now the current youth minister at Thrift Baptist Church and feel great letting God be God. I have a wife named Nicolette. I am attending Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute to receive my associate degree in Pastoral Studies, then go on to receive my Bachelor's in Christian Studies at North Greenville University. However, my true plan is to follow God's will and do accordingly.
