Stone Creek Baptist Church

I was born to Archie and Nora Thornton on Feb. 21, 1937 Southwest of Calera, OK.

When I was 5 yrs old we moved to a farm East of Caddo, OK. I started to school at

Caddo the next year and went all 12 years there.

We attended Robinson Baptist Church which was a little country church where my dad served as a deacon and my mother was my first Sunday school teacher.

I was saved about a week after my 18th birthday.

I have a diploma in Pastorial Ministries.



I have often said I am just a country boy the Lord called to preach.

I believe the Bible to be the holy inspired word of God and preach it just that way.

You have heard the old saying beside every good man is a good woman and I have

one of those. Shirley and I have been best friends and she has been my wife for

57 years and we have been blessed with 3 children.

I realize I am past the age most people retire but I am not ready for a rocking chair

just yet.

The Lord has blessed me with good health and I want to go on serving Him until He tells me it’s time to quit.

In Christ’s service
