Rev. Walter J. Proctor


Rev. Proctor was a great pastor and teacher. After serving Paradise for over 10 years, a new calling was placed on Rev. Proctor and he stepped down from his position as Pastor of Paradise.

That left Paradise without a pastor once again, But not for long.

In the year of 1993 on Easter Sunday a very gifted man of God was asked to come and give a sermon as Pastor Elect.

Two weeks later he became the Pastor of Paradise Baptist Church.

Dr. Edison Colbert Jr. – Executive Pastor of Paradise Baptist Church

Pastor Colbert has blessed Paradise with his compassion, dedication, teachings, and knowledge for the past 24 years. Through his teachings, Paradise grew from a congregation of only 15 – 20 people, to now at present, we have a membership of over 800 people.

Under Pastor Colbert’s leadership, Paradise outgrew her edifice on Terrell Ave. and with a lot of very hard work, dedication, prayers, and time, a new land sight was purchased, and through the tithes and offerings made, a new Edifice was built in 2007.

On December 30 2007, we opened the doors to our new Paradise Located at 4390 Fannett , Road Beaumont, TX
