You are invited to join us in celebrating how wonderful God has been to our community. We recognize how good God has been to us throughout many years. We were fortunate to celebrate last year that Alder Springs was established 175 years ago. This year we rejoice that our Pastor Jimmy Davidson has been leading our flock for 25 years.

The son of Jimmy Davidson Sr. and Louise Jessee Davidson, Jimmy spent his youth in our town and graduated from Horace Maynard High School in 1981. He was saved at the age of 7 at Hines Creek Baptist Church. He has lived a life devoted to our Lord Jesus and announced his calling to preach on August 16, 1981 at Valley Grove where he was later ordained as a preacher on September 25, 1983. Jimmy then joined with Blowing Springs Baptist Church in Anderson County to serve as their pastor. There, he preached, visited, counseled, rejoiced in blessings, and wept in sorrows with his brothers and sisters in Christ for 17 years.

In July 2000, Jimmy felt moved to join Alder Springs as the pastor. His work continued with the same determined desire to lead others to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Keeping the friendships from Blowing Springs and deepening new friendships with Alder Springs Jimmy has furthered his work within the community through the Area Wide Crusade meetings, Bible Release teachings for our schools, working with local funeral homes to support families in need as they navigate the rough storms of losing loved ones, and countless additional actions known to all those that have known Jimmy over the years.

[Rom 10:13-15 KJV] 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Thank you Lord for the blessings you have bestowed on our community and thank you for allowing our lives to intertwine with Reverend Jimmy Davidson Jr., whom you sent to preach your word to us and many more.

Please join us on Sunday, July 13, 2025 at 11:00am for a special service as we give thanks to God for His many blessings and show our love and appreciation for Jimmy’s 25 years of service with us. Fellowship and food will immediately follow the special service.
