Aboutme

My name is Cooper P. Abrams, III. (Age 65)

   I am a missionary pastor, planting Fundamental Independent Baptist churches, in the Mormon heartland of Utah. I and my wife, Carolyn have been missionaries serving in central, southern and northern Utah since 1986. We are sent out of Calvary Baptist Church, King, NC. I graduated from Piedmont Bible College, in 1981 with a ThB in Theology Pastoral Major and in May 2000 with MBS Master of Biblical Studies
   My home town is Pinetops and my wife's is Rocky Mount, both in eastern North Carolina. My hobbies are Ham radio (KC7DUC), the Internet, shooting, teaching gun safety and shooting skills, fishing, collecting fossils and exploring the deserts and mountains here in Utah. I am a Utah Hunter Education Instructor, an NRA certified instructor in handguns and personal protection and a State of Utah Public Safety certified concealed firearms instructor.
   My wife graduated from the College of Eastern Utah (CEU) in May, 1996, with an associate's degree in science (accounting major). She enjoys teaching Sunday School, singing, playing the organ, directing the choir, sewing, exploring the deserts with me and she too is an amateur radio operator (KC7IOX)
   We began our church planting ministry in Utah in 1986 at the First Baptist Church of Beaver, Utah. Beaver has a population of about 2000 people. Until the establishment of the First Baptist Church there was no biblical Gospel witness in the area. The church, which we helped establish, celebrated its twenth anniversary 2005. First Baptist Church of Beaver has nice building in the center of town (all paid for) and is well established.
     We began working in church planting in Price, Utah, in October, 1993, a town in the central eastern part of the state . This work is Grace Baptist Church of Castle Country.   Price is a coal mining area of about 9000 people, having LDS, Mormon, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, CMA, SBC, Protestant and Pentecostal and Charismatic churches. In June 1999, I completed by work there after the church purchased is own building on South Main Street. I resigned and turned the church over to Pastor Jeff Warix who had been working with me for over a year. The church is very doing well with attendance around forty.

     The Lord directed us to our third and present work in Tremonton, Utah. Tremonton is in northern Utah near the Idaho border at the I15 - I84 split. Calvary Baptist Church began meeting in September of 2000 and currently has an attendance of around twenty five. The Lord has blessed and we have been able to build a beautiful 5144 sq. ft. new church building at 830 West 1200 South, Tremonton, Utah. The church is doing very well. Our associate pastor in David George who has thirty years of preaching experience.

We ask for your prayers for us, the work here in Tremonton, and the many other areas in the Utah that need a sound Bible believing church. Please pray as we preach the Gospel and continue planting New Testament churches.

Thank you for your prayers.
