First Baptist Church of Shelbyville has called a new senior pastor to lead the more than 700 people in its congregation.
Dr. Steve Rice of Floyd County was announced as the new pastor last Sunday after being affirmed by 99.3 percent of the voting church members.
Rice said he and his family are thankful for the unity in the church's calling him to be their pastor.
He said having such a high percentage of the congregation vote in favor of a prospective pastor "is some what uncommon in a church that size."
