Roger Hoots is Pastor of East River Baptist Church located on the Northeast side of Houston, Texas in the town of New Caney. The faithful church family has given sacrificially and graciously to their missions program in the 12 years God has allowed him to be their Pastor. East River has a Master Club Ministry and Pro-Teen Ministry for the youth. The Power Company is a ministry for their Seniors. A Bible Institute is directed by Associate Pastor and Missions Director Edgar Thierbach. East River is privileged to be the home of GSBM. Brother Hoots is the presiding pastor over GSBM, serves on the Administrative Team and serves as an instructor at the Pastors Training School.
East River has the vision of being a church that serves the Lord locally, nationally, and globally — locally through the ministries above; nationally through the Pastors Training Schools; and globally through the Missionary Training Schools and the foreign missionaries the church supports. East River is constructing its facilities accordingly.
Brother Hoots was born in Mississippi, and graduated from high school in 1975. After being born again in August of 1976, he surrendered to the call of the ministry in January of 1977 and became the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Franklin, Louisiana, where he ministered for 14 years. For 9 of those 14 years, Faith operated a Christian school. He also served on the Board of Directors of Habitat for Humanity in St. Mary Parish. In 1995 the Lord led him to New Caney.
He has a Bachelor of Religious Education from Bethany Divinity College and Seminary in Dothan, Alabama, and is currently enrolled in the Masters Program at Bethany.
He married his high school sweetheart, Cindy in 1977. They have six children (one deceased) and two grandchildren of whom all are in church.
