LITTLE ROCK – Morgan Fulcher has joined the Evangelism + Church Health Team of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) as the new children and women’s ministry strategist.
“Morgan brings a vast amount of experience in both children and women’s ministry. We’re excited to have her on the team,” Evangelism + Church Health Team Leader Warren Gasaway said. “Our goal is to serve churches. Morgan loves the local church and will be a friend and encourager to many.”
Fulcher previously served as children’s minister at First Baptist Church in Benton before taking on the women’s minister role at the church.
“The Spirit of God, the Word of God, forms our desires and our passions over time,” Fulcher said, describing how she landed in children and women’s ministry.
She has a “desire to see kids grow not in just their understanding of who God is but in a loving relationship with Jesus and to see them experience Him in their everyday lives.”
Additionally, Fulcher wants to help equip women to partner in Kingdom work in their current context as they live out their day, empower women to live and share the Gospel in the ordinary moments of life, and help women to cultivate communities around the presence of Jesus and to make space for Kingdom growth.
She said it is about “helping women to understand and know the promises and truth of who God is, what His Word says, and to see the Spirit empower them to live out their everyday lives.”
Fulcher is committed to the mission of training the church to serve others with biblical wisdom and ministry skills, and sound doctrine, with a desire to build relationships and help form constructs to meet the needs of local church ministry both internally and externally.
“What I love so much about this work is that it is a collective work. It is one work and one body that we get to do together,” she said.
Fulcher is a 2013 graduate of the University of Central Arkansas, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Family Consumer Science. She graduated with her Master of Theological Studies from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2023.
She and her husband, Luke, have two daughters. They are active members at First Baptist Church in Benton.
The addition of Fulcher follows the departure of Andrea Lennon, who after 10 years of serving with the ABSC as a women’s ministry specialist transitioned to a role with Lifeway Christian Resources, and Emily Smith’s recent transition from ABSC children’s specialist to abuse prevention + response consultant.
