Jerry Royal
Executive Pastor
Jerry Royal has served as Executive Pastor at FBCWF since 1993, faithfully guiding the church through decades of ministry growth and impact. He came to Christ at a youth camp during high school and sensed a call to ministry at the age of 16 while attending South Cliff Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Jerry went on to earn his undergraduate degree from Baylor University and a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Theological Seminary. His life verse, Romans 8:28, reminds him of God’s sovereign purpose in every circumstance. Jerry has been married to Mary since 1996, and together they have four children: Maddie, an attorney in Fort Worth; Mallory, who serves on staff at Cross Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas; Kip, attends at Texas A&M; and Kayla. Outside of ministry, Jerry enjoys watching sports (more than playing them), occasionally working out, and exploring new foods with his family of fellow foodies. What he loves most about FBCWF is its incredible people, the staff team, and the rich, Christ-centered culture they share.
