Pastor Bio: Dr. Thomas Jamieson / Senior Pastor



With a desire to see people have a relationship with Jesus Christ and a heart for worship, Dr. Jamieson came to serve First Baptist Church of Mount Dora September of 2007. Prior to coming to First Baptist, Dr. Jamieson served with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Dr. Jamieson believes the church should not be contained in the four walls of the building but should move out and be a part of the whole community. That is why you will see "Faith, Family, Friends" throughout our website, bulletins, Life Groups ... everywhere.
Dr. Jamieson graduated from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity with Biblical Languages and received his Doctorate in Philosophy from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  His language studies include Greek, Hebrew, Latin, German, Spanish and Hungarian.  He and his wife, Sheri, have three children, Ellie, Ethan, and Evan.


Pastor Jamieson has five areas of focus: Preaching and Teaching the Word of God, Vision Casting, Leadership and Shepherding. He believes in building strong families as the foundation in communities and reaching out to share the gospel of Jesus with those who do not have a personal relationship with Him.
