FROM THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PRIMITIVE OR OLD SCHOOL BAPTIST MINISTERS BY DAVID MONTGOMERY AND MARK GREEN:
ELDER EUGENE BENNETT
I was born March 31, 1923, near Mocksville in Davie County, N. C., the youngest of 13 children born to Drew D. and Carrie Flinchum Bennett. Both my parents were members of the Primitive Baptist Church.
On March 25, 1947, I dreamed I was baptized by Elder Fletcher Moore in Dutchman Creek. I tried to ignore it, but could not. In August of that year I presented myself and was baptized the fourth Sunday in September, just as I haddreamed. I wrote a few articles for some of the Primitive Baptist publications. Sometime later some of the elders began calling on me to open service.
I was liberated to speak by the Church at No Creek in May 1963, and was ordained to the ministry in October 1964. I was called to serve as joint pastor at No Creek with Elder Fletcher R. Moore in February 1965, and have served as pastor since the death of Elder Moore in 1973. I served as pastor at White Oak Springs, Star, N. C., about 15 years. I have served as pastor of the church at Little River, Sparta, N. C., since 1993.
My wife joined the church at No Creek in 1962. It has been a good home for both of us. |
