Pastor Rodney Walker of First Baptist Church of Rockledge joins the Pastor Podcast to share the story of the over 60 year-old congregation that began as a plant church of First Baptist Cocoa in 1962. The conversation explores the church’s traditional worship culture complete with choir, hymns, and Sunday school, as well as the revitalization and growth they’ve experienced in recent years.
