Pastor Dewitt

Pastor C. E. DeWitt left this world surrounded by family and friends on May 12, 2015. He entered the next world the
very same way. Born on August 5, 1931, Pastor DeWitt began life in Mont Ida, Kansas. He met and married Judy Crosby (his wife of 62 years), while service in the US Air Force in Amarillo, Texas.

Pastor DeWitt graduated from Welda High School in 1949 and from Central Bible College in Springfield, MO in 1963. In later years, he also aattend3ed Central Baptist Seminary in Kansas City, KS.
Through 62 years of ministry, Pastor DeWitt served churches in Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, California, and Texas. He retired at the age of 83 on October 12, 2014 while serving as interim pastor of First Baptist Church of Sedan, KS.
He did not consider himself a professional preacher; he considered himself a pastor. He was a man who served from his heart. He loved his Lord through the end.
