Paul Mooney
Minister Profile
The Following is from the Biographical History of Primitive Baptist or Old School Baptist Ministers, Volume II,2001, by David Montgomery and Mark Green. Elder Paul Felix Mooney Sr.
“I was born February 23, 1932, in Gilmer County, Georgia. I joined the Primitive Baptist Church on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in August of 1950, and was baptized the next day. I felt a great burden had been lifted from me, but before nightfall, I felt another burden. I was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1955 just in time for the Korean conflict and spent two years in the service. Eighteen of those months were spent at sea. After I came home, I married Ethel Smith. I had not told anyone about the way I felt, and in 1961, before one of our sons was born, my wife was having a lot of problems, and I felt it was my fault for not doing what I felt was mine to do. About the same time, my uncle questioned me about it. After that, I went to church and did the best I could. I served Tickanetley Church from 1972 until now as part of the pastorship. And, I have served Fellowship Church as pastor for 22 years.”
Elder Paul Felix Mooney, Sr., age 86, of the Quill community in Gilmer County, passed away on Friday, June 22, 2018, surrounded by his family.
