Floyd Odom

Floyd and his wife Madge were married in Tennessee June 26, 1967. Both attended Abilene Christian University, as well as their two children, David and Allison. Floyd and Madge will celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary this year. As a teenager, Floyd became a Christian. After becoming an adult, he served as a deacon in the Church at two separate congregations before coming to Westside Church of Christ, where he has served as an elder for seven years. He has seen Westside Church of Christ grow from approximately 100 Christians without a permanent facility to what it is today. In addition to his serving as an elder in the Church, Floyd has been employed as an administrator in the Austin Independent School District, and will begin his 40th year as an educator in the fall of 2000. As an elder, Floyd serves with four other men. He firmly believes that we are to glorify God "in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end." As one studies the scriptures, it is increasingly clear that the Church of Jesus Christ has an identity in the New Testament. It is our duty as believers and Christians to follow the established pattern. As Paul declared in 1 Corinthians, "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." At Westside Church of Christ, we are committed to preserving the identity of the New Testament Church.
