One Faith, One Baptism, One God

BAPTIST AND CATHOLIC? A GREAT COMBINATION!

David J. Nixon, had the opportunity to work at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in 2004-05. Being a Baptist minister and working with an African American female Catholic Pastoral Life Coordinator, may seem rather odd, however, we must remember, that God's thoughts are not our thoughts, and his ways are not our ways. "There are twelve religions but ONE Lord," says Nixon.

David J. Nixon, was the coordinator of St. John's Youth Group, and worked with young people in the church, conducting Sunday, Bible Class, creating positive behavior projects, supervised youth outings, youth development programs, fundraisers, getting items donated to the youth group activity room, hosted poetry nights for young people, hands-on basic computer training, and youth fitness nutrition programs. David and his wife, also did outreach ministry and worked with youth throughout the community.

He was asked to speak at St. Mary's Catholic Church, during the Martin Luther King Jr., Birthday Celebration, sponsored by the Downtown Ministers Association. Nixon's speech was "We Have A Dream." The most humbling moment for David, was meeting the Bishop of Evansville. Before relocating to the city of Evansville, he had an opportunity to sit under the leadership of a Baptist Bishop for the District of Michigan. Having the opportunity to meet the Catholic Bishop of Evansville was a great honor. He is also a member of the Downtown Ministers Association, Youth Task Force Committee for Parks and Recreations, and the Buffalo Trace Scout Committee.

David J. Nixon, resigned from St. John the Apostle Catholic Church on June 10, 2005. It was not due to any animosity or ill-discord in his own words "My mission was completed at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, and God has called me to a new assignment" replied Nixon.
