Blake Appleby serves as the pastor of First Baptist Church in Jayton, Texas, where he and his family are grateful to make their home.

For more than fifteen years, Blake has served local churches and preached at churches, camps, and gatherings across the country. At the heart of his ministry is a simple desire: helping people discover life with Jesus.

Blake believes Scripture is not merely a text to study from a distance, but a place where we meet the living God and are formed by Him. His preaching stays grounded in the biblical text and asks what it means to live with Jesus in ordinary life.

A graduate of Liberty University, Blake continues to preach outside his local church as opportunities allow. His life and ministry remain rooted in Jayton, where he faithfully cares for his family and pastors the people God has entrusted to him.
