Our Leadership

Josh Odom

Ministry Director

Hey y’all! My name is Josh Odom, and I am the ministry director here at the Freeda Harris Baptist Center (FHBC). I serve in this position alongside my wife, Tamia, who I get to tell you more about below. I am currently a student of Southeastern Seminary where I am pursuing a Master’s of Divinity in Missiology. My background is in Agricultural Education as I hold a degree in this subject matter from the University of Georgia. I have been involved in ministry since 2015 in various leadership roles ranging from volunteer roles to full-time ministerial positions. At the end of 2023 the Lord began to call my family to Eastern Kentucky, and more specifically to the FHBC. We arrived in May of 2024, and though it has been a short time, we see God working here everyday. It is my hope and prayer that those who come to serve, and those who are served see Christ in all that we do!

Tamia & Ezekiel

This is my family! I couldn’t do any of this without them. Tamia and I have been married since December of 2019, and in 2023 we welcomed our son Ezekiel. Tamia has a background in Rural Community Development and has been putting that knowledge to work since we have been here. She does a ton of work for the FHBC behind the scenes and she also serves our county as a 4-H Program Assistant. I thank the Lord for her and all that she does. Ezekiel brings all the cuteness and joy that you need. He is a monster truck-loving ball of energy and laughter. We thank the Lord that we were blessed with such a precious son.
