Morris D. Hunsucker Sr. was born and raised in rural South Carolina. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior in the summer of 1973. Due to the influence of his Pastor and Youth Pastor at the Florence Baptist Temple in Florence, S.C. he immediately began to pursue a deeper relationship with God. Less than a year after he was saved, he was called to the ministry and immediately made plans to attend Bible College.

He pursued his theological training at Bible Baptist College in Springfield, MO where he graduated in 1977. Following his College graduation, “Pastor Morris,” as he has come to be known, served for ten years as Youth Pastor in three different churches in Ohio and Indiana. He was ordained to the Gospel Ministry in 1979 at Bible Baptist Church in Michigan City, Indiana. In 1988, Pastor Morris was called as the assistant Pastor of Eagledale Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. He served faithfully on staff at Eagledale with Dr. Warren P. Dafoe for almost twenty years. At Eagledale, he started and developed the Single Adult Ministry, and then the Young Married Ministry. During his last two years at Eagledale, Pastor Morris was also Director of one of the largest and fastest growing Reformers Unanimous chapters in the United States. Reformers Unanimous is a Christ centered addictions program that directs the addicted back to God's support group, the local church. 

In November of 2006, Pastor Morris accepted a call to minister to men and women as the National Director of the Reformers Unanimous Schools of Discipleship in Rockford, Illinois. His duties Reformers Unanimous International included Director of the Men and Women’s Discipleship Homes as well as Director of the Men’s and Women’s Graduate Programs.

Because of his work with the Young Married Ministry and the R.U. addictions program, Pastor Morris has continued to develop his skills as a Biblical counselor. Besides hours of personal one-on-one counseling, Pastor Morris also taught several programs designed to help Christians strengthen their marriage, families, and personal spiritual walk with Christ. The courses include “Changed Into His Image,” “Preparing for Marriage,” “Loving for a Lifetime,” “Biblical Parenting,” and the Friday night Reformers Unanimous meetings. Pastor Morris is currently attending classes at Faith Biblical Counseling Center in Lafayette, IN to further his education and is currently seeking his NANC certification (a national certification for Biblical counselors).

Pastor Morris and his wife, Becky, have been married for over thirty-one years. They have two children and five Grandchildren. Their son, Dean, is married and has three children. Dean is the Director of Iron Men’s Boys Camp in North Webster, Indiana (see www.goodnewsministries.com). Their daughter, Carrie, is also married. Carrie and her husband are members of Faith Baptist.

Together, Pastor Morris and Becky have had many years of experience in helping to develop young Christians and helping them to develop a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. They are thankful for the opportunity to serve the Lord here at Faith Baptist Church.
