Pastor Eugene Jennings and his wife, Joyce, and two daughters moved to Kansas from the Phoenix area. They settled in rural Havensville and assumed the pastorate of Fellowship Baptist on November 3, 1996. The Lord has since added two more children and much joy in the work. The Jennings children include Elizabeth, Hannah, Isabelle, and Lester Eugene IV. In truth, the quiver is full

Pastor Jennings attended Grand Canyon College in Phoenix but withdrew prior to graduation. With the addition of family responsibilities and full time employment returning to college was always a dream that has been put off. However, he is a voracious reader and so studies at the feet of such men as Charles Spurgeon, J.L Dagg, J.P. Boyce, Jonathon Edwards, Richard Baxter, Thomas Manton, and John Owen. He has also been mentored by Pastor Tony Mattia of Trinity Baptist Church.  These amazing resources have been a blessing that the Lord has greatly used to train him in the ministry. The Online Founders Study Center has also been used of the Lord to help to equip him for the always challenging task of shepherding the flock of God.

The Lord also used many occupations over the years to prepare for the variety of demands that the pastorate imposes. From construction, to truck driving, retail sales to hard manual labor, counselor in a group home for troubled teens to various church staff positions all have provided invaluable training in the absence of formal theological training.

Pastor Jennings has always been musically inclined and directs the choir at Trinity Baptist in Wamego. This work the Lord continues to bless and to guide, and the work at Fellowship continues to grow. With a church family constantly growing and family at home now including a teenager the challenges are only beginning.
