Bobby Waitman

Lead Pastor

Pastor Bobby Waitman serves as the lead pastor of Lake.Church. Waitman has served as a lead pastor for 15 years and as a public school administrator for the past 21 years. His experience as a teacher, coach, youth pastor, principal, and superintendent has been very beneficial to him in the role of a servant leader. He met his wife of 27 years at Falls Creek, and she has served alongside him in music, children's, and youth ministries. They have two sons, Brecken, 24, and Brennan, 21. Bobby is passionate about the life transforming power of Jesus Christ. Waitman has felt a call to the Lake Texoma area for the past several years, and feels blessed to be able to take part in a church plant with Mark Williams, his long-time friend and partner in ministry. In his own words, "It is time for us to stop "going" to church and start "being" the church for a lost world."
