A Front Row Seat


Brad Baxter- CSM Ministry Intern

Recently, we heard Christian Service Mission described as, "That place that brings the churches from the white and black communities together." Our ministry interns get a front row seat to that amazing aspect of what we do. Brad Baxter has chosen to work with CSM for a year’s ministry practicum in partnership with Shades Mountain Baptist Church and Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. Brad is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School at Samford University.

Working closely Tracy Hipps, Brad is assisting CSM in coming alongside both congregations to create new opportunities for doing ministry together and impacting Birmingham for the Gospel. Both churches are deeply connected to CSM, and these relationships form an opportunity for Brad to be a part of unity in the Body of Christ and lifting each other up. He is also assisting Tracy with other CSM ministry outreaches. Brad graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Mississippi State University in May of 2015. He is originally from Clinton, Mississippi. In his free time, Brad enjoys hunting, running, keeping up with his favorite sports teams, hanging out with friends and cooking. He is a member of Shades Mountain Baptist Church.
