Born on October 2, 1933, in Roanoke, Alabama, S.T.’s life was one marked by intentional service and ministry. After spending time in the United States Navy and supporting his family through a career in manufacturing, he resigned in 1969 to pursue full-time Christian ministry. He became the pastor of several churches in the Alabama/Georgia area, including Stovall Baptist Church in Stovall, Sunnyside Baptist Church and Oakside Baptist Church in LaGrange, and finally Faith Baptist Church in Roanoke. After his retirement, he spent his time traveling, speaking, and singing, mostly in the Alabama/Georgia area.
