FBC Hillsborough

At First Baptist Church, every follower of Jesus Christ is a minister:

"You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
1 Peter 2.9

Our conviction is that each member of FBC Hillsborough will find a place of ministry that complements his or her gifts and passions. For the church to grow in its worship, discipleship, and testimony, we must all come to see ourselves as fellow ministers of the good news of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Randy Carter
I have been privileged to serve as pastor with First Baptist Church of Hillsborough since August 2003. I grew up in Austin and Houston, TX…a state I like to refer to as the “promised land.” I have no real desire to return unless a group gets serious about secession and declaring Texas a sovereign nation again. I might have to go back for that! Until then, we’ll keep driving there to visit our families.

After college in TX, I completed my M.Div. degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary just outside of San Francisco. While in seminary, I served as a campus minister at San Francisco State University with the Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship. In the summer of 1998, we moved to NC and I attended the Divinity School at Duke University, completing my Th.M. in 2001.

I am married to Rebecca—a really good deal for me and for Rebecca, well…she’s an angel! We have three home-grown children: Wesley, Jeremy, and Avery, as well as three foster children: Olivia, Justin, and Valerie. There is no lack of excitement in the Carter household.

I look forward each day to the challenges and graces of God’s call with the church.

Rev. Bill Nordan
Bill Nordan has served churches as Minister of Music, Organist, and Pianist in Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and Texas before coming to Hillsborough. He is a graduate of George Mason University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Melanie Rogers, live in Danville, Virginia.

Rev. Allen Winters
Allen grew up in Jacksonville, NC. He is married to Karen Winters. He received his BA at Gardner-Webb University 1993-1997 and received his MDiv at Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond 1997-2002. He has been a Minister of Youth in Virginia and NC since 1996. He is currently serving on the Faith Devolopment Council and Youth Ministry Council for CBFNC.

Carole Ogan
Our Financial/Stewardship Administrator, Carole earned a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University and has worked in finance all her life. She is a controller at Journalistic and has worked part-time as the financial secretary for First Baptist Church since 1999. Carol finds that as a church financial secretary, her background in religion and her work history complement each other, as she sees her work as a form of ministry. Carole and her husband Lee live in Durham, NC.

Shirley Robinson
Our Church Secretary/Administrative Assistant, Shirley received her BS in Elementary Education at Campbell University. After teaching a few years, she went back to school to get her masters in education. She has recently retired from teaching. She enjoys crafts, reading, traveling, and working on computers.
