On January 12, 1980 Pastor Parks walked the aisle of Calvary Bible Baptist Church and accepted Christ as his Saviour. A few short years later God called him to preach and in 1987 God called him to move from Louisiana to come to Charity Baptist Institute under Pastor Greg Estep in Beavercreek Ohio. It was there he met his future wife Vickey and they were married the following year. In 1994 God called him and his wife to go into full time evangelism and In 2001 God called Pastor Parks to serve under Pastor Craig Lovell at Liberty Baptist Church and he served under him for 12 years until Pastor Lovell went home in October of 2013. On June 9, 2005 Pastor Parks was sent out from Liberty Baptist Church and founded Highway Baptist Church. In April of 2016 God called us to relocate from North Dayton to Beavercreek Ohio and we changed the name to Good News Baptist Church. Pastor Parks has a burden to see souls saved and to see christians strengthen their walk with Christ and grow in the knowledge of the scriptures. God has given him a unique teaching/preaching ability and wants nothing more than to grow our church in unity following Jesus Christ.
