Becky McKinney - Worship Minister

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.” -Proverbs 3:5-6

Becky began serving as the worship minister at First Baptist Church Stockdale in August 2007. Raised in the northwest as the daughter of a Baptist minister, she came to faith at age 8 during Vacation Bible School and has been actively serving since. After high school in Washington State, she moved to Texas for Howard Payne University, where she met her husband Joe. They felt called to South Texas, where Becky began leading worship at Vanderbilt Baptist Church. Though she initially didn’t recognize her calling, she later realized worship was her true vocation. The McKinney family moved to Poth in 1998, and Becky served as Worship Leader at Oak Hills Community Church from 1999 to 2007 before joining First Baptist Church Stockdale. Joe and Becky have four children—Josh, Keeley, Caleb, and Keira—and pray that each will follow God's calling on their lives.


Palmer Jones - Youth Pastor

He surrendered to the call to ministry at the age of 13 and has served in previous churches in both worship and youth ministries.

Palmer loves leading in the youth ministry because he feels like this is where the gifts the Lord has given him, really shine. He is a people person in general, but his fun and goofy spirit really comes out with the youth. Palmer has been married to his wife Katy since 2018.
