President — Steve Fulks was born December 24, 1952 into the home of Rev. & Mrs. Harlan Fulks. In August of 1964, realizing his personal need of a Savior, he asked his father to show him how his sins could be forgiven and how he could become a child of God.
In September 1970 Steve was enrolled at Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga, TN. There he followed the course of study for a major in history with a minor in Bible. It was also at Temple that the Lord led Steve to meet his future wife, Judy Taylor. They both graduated on May 27, 1974 and were united in marriage the following day.
The Lord has permitted the Fulks to minister in many different areas and in various ways. Upon graduation they moved to Alexandria, VA where they both taught at Calvary Christian School; Judy in the elementary division and Steve in the high school. Steve also served as administrator of the school for two years. From that assignment, they moved to the Cincinnati, OH area where they served in a ministry to youth and music. He was ordained to Gospel Ministry on November 9, 1978. Later, the Lord took the Fulks to Iowa where Steve assumed the pastorate of Clio Baptist Church.
In July of 1985 the Fulks were commissioned by Tri-County Baptist Church of West Chester, Ohio and appointed by Baptist Mid-Missions as missionaries to the country of Peru where they ministered through 1997. They served in church planting, seminary instruction, and as well, had the opportunity to develop a radio ministry. In 1992 the Fulks, with the Lord’s help, began the production of the well-known program “Unshackled!” in Spanish and continued that ministry through June of 2004 producing over 600 programs.
In March of 1997 Steve was invited by the General Council of Baptist Mid-Missions to assume the position of Administrator for Church Relations & Mission Advancement (now known as Church Relations & Enlistment). He served in that position until January 2017 when he assumed the position of Administrator for Operations which included oversight of the Global Ministry Center Staff and Campus, as well as the IT Department. Steve retired from the Baptist Mid-Missions Administration on July 31, 2022 and assumed the position of President of Fellowship of Missions on September 13, 2022.
