Rev. Caldwell receives a certificate of appreciation for 50 years of service from Mayor Burnett at Monday’s city council meeting.
The first Sunday of September marks Rev. Carrol Caldwell’s 50th year of serving as a pastor and he was honored at September’s city council meeting for reaching this milestone. Looking back on his 50 years of service shows that the best of Caldwell’s ministry was not done just behind the pulpit but through tireless community service which makes him a bright and integral thread of the Woodruff area’s spiritual and social fabric.
Caldwell began his ministry as the bi-vocational minister of Harmony Baptist Church in 1961 and served there till 1978. From there he helped start Cavins Baptist Church in 1978 with 60 members. He served as pastor there until Dec. 21, 2004, when he retired after 26 years of service.
