About My Family

I am a 1997 graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with a master’s degree in trombone performance and church music. I have been married to Kim Hulsey since 1994. We have two children, Carolanne and Graham. We enjoy spending time together as a family.

Carolanne is a 2023 graduate of Carson Newman University with a degree in Education (Teaching English as a Second Language). Graham is a graduate of Richland High School in Richland, Miss., and is currently seeking God’s direction for his life after a recent setback. Kim is a special education teacher at Richland Middle School.

About My Ministry

I serve as a staff chaplain at the Mississippi Baptist Medical Center in Jackson. I am an inactive deacon at First Baptist Church in Richland where my family and I are actively involved in the deacon ministry, music ministry and youth ministry. My son and I play in the church band (trombone and euphonium), and my wife sings in the choir.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard to reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray for people to come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.

Participate

Commit to long-term prayer support. Explore the opportunities to extend the reach of your church by becoming a chaplain. Be involved in supporting chaplains and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Talk with a chaplain about his or her ministry context. Send resources that support a chaplain’s ministry context. Pray for chaplains and their families.
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
