Dr. C. F. Mulligan, Pastor
Mulligan Family Pastor Mulligan was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, but lived the majority of his life in southern Florida. He lived in Ft. Lauderdale where he rode the bus to First Baptist Church of West Hollywood under Dr. Verle Ackerman. This 6-year old child immediately accepted Jesus as his Savior and obeyed God in Believer’s baptism. Though he felt the tug of God on his heart, Pastor Mulligan was never well grounded in the faith nor attended church very often. Instead, as a young man, he ran from God. After many trials and chastisements, Pastor Mulligan succumbed to God’s calling and surrendered his will to preach, March 22, 1994, at Pastor School in Indiana. Pastor Mulligan was ordained by Dr. Jack Hyles, at First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, and received a General Studies diploma. Pastor Mulligan now holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Landmark Baptist College, a Master of Divinity from Great Plains Baptist Divinity School, and a Doctor of Divinity from Bethany Theological Seminary. He currently is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Miami, Fl. This is his third pastorate. Pastor Mulligan pastored Central Baptist Church in East Chicago, Indiana, Victory Baptist Church in Ft. Myers, Florida and served as a chaplain for the Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. God has greatly used Pastor Mulligan in all areas of his ministries and many souls have been led to Christ, baptized and lives changed forever.
Paul Provost, Assistant Pastor Paul Provost was born in the Florida Keys in 1965. His family moved to central Florida in 1970. After his mother’s death in 1974 he moved back to the Keys to live with his grandparents. At the age of ten he went through the motions of a conversion but did not accept Christ as his Savior. His father remarried in 1977 and Bro. Provost moved back to central Florida. In his teen years he drifted away from church and was drawn to worldly pleasures. At the age of nineteen a new leaf was turned over and a moral life was lived including church attendance and Christian service. In the fall of 1987 Bro. Provost started attending Atlantic Baptist Bible College. He was saved the following school year in November. In July of 1989 he married Cindy, and had his first child, Rachael, one year later. Upon graduating in May of 1991 he moved to Miami, began attending Grace Baptist Church and working in the Christian day school. His second child, Ruthanne, was born in 1993. He has led Sunday school classes from Juniors to Adults with most of the time spent working with teens.
