First Baptist Church - Odem

Pastor Terry has served in churches in Texas and Washington state since 1977.  He served as Youth Pastor in the Corpus Christi area from 1977 to 1987, then as Pastor in Odessa from January 1987 to August 1988.  In 1988 Pastor Terry began serving in ministry in Washington state and later planted and led a new church there.

He and his wife, Kelleen, returned to the Coastal Bend in the fall of 2022 after pastoring for 34 years in the Pacific Northwest.  They are excited to be a part of what God is doing here at First Baptist Church of Odem.  Pastor Terry is a passionate preacher and teacher of God's word and desires to see the church grow in spiritual depth.  The Little's have one grown son, Joshua, a daughter-in-law, Jennifer, and the cutest little grandson, Mason.

Pastor Little was presented to the church in view of a call on Sunday, March 19, 2023.  The church was in unity in calling Pastor Little, as we evidenced by a unanimous vote in favor.  Pastor Little and Kelleen accepted the call that day!  All Glory Be to God!

Tami Pfluger is a lifelong resident of Odem, and has served as the Church Secretary since January 12, 2016.  She and her husband, Greg, have nine children, thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchild.  They love travel, "binging on Netflix movies", and tending to their sheep.
