Fairview Baptist Staff

Senior Pastor - Matthew Ferguson

Pastor Matthew has been serving at Fairview Baptist since December of 2016. Until November of 2024, his main focus was ministering to those 18yrs of age and under as an Associate/Youth Pastor. During the early months of 2024, God began to grow Matthew’s passion for ministering to the church as a whole an in November of 2024, he began serving as the Senior Pastor at Fairview. 

Matthew has been actively serving in Ministry for over 20yrs with much of that time spent in full-time ministry. He and Jennifer have lived and ministered in the cities of Chicago, Indianapolis, Birmingham, and Orlando. They have also welcomed three beautiful children into their journey (Braddock, Ensley, and Adley). Their time serving with Fairview is full of great memories and there are still more to come. 

Worship Leader - Ross Salters

Ross has been serving as Fairview’s Worship Leader since August, 2023. Prior to moving to Madison, AL and joining Fairview, he served as the Worship Pastor with Revive Church in Columbus, MS and worked with the Fayette Housing Authority where he served his community by providing affordable housing. His time in Columbus also allowed him the opportunity to partner with the West Alabama Food bank and work alongside the mayor in feeding 100s of families and distributing over 30,000lbs of food. Ross has a beautiful family that includes his wife, Latrice and 3 amazing children (Kayleigh, Kayson, and Kadyn). His hope and desire is to use the heart of worship to reach as many kids and adults as he can with the Gospel of Christ in the East Limestone Community. Will you join him and his family for worship?

 
Church Secretary - Cathy Baugher

My name is Cathy Cole Baugher.  I have been the church secretary at Fairview Baptist Church for almost 20 years, and I have been a member of Fairview since 1972.  I have lived in this incredible East Limestone community my entire life.  My husband John and I have been married for 51 years, and we have three beautiful daughters, Kim Hays, Kelley Davenport, and Karen (Sissy) Brown.  God has richly blessed us with seven grandchildren:  Bailey, Kendall, Blair, Dacy, Barrett, Grayson, and Briggs.  I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, baking, and crocheting.  My favorite Bible verse is Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
