Carson Whittemire
Youth
Carson began his ministry at Fairview in August of 2023. Growing up just an hour south of Joplin in his hometown, Cassville Missouri, Carson met his wife, Elizabeth, and they were married in August of 2023. They now have a daughter on the way (Due mid November 2024)!
 
Carson is currently attending Mission University (formerly Baptist Bible College) in Springfield, MO as he simultaneously pursues both a Bachelors in Biblical Studies and a graduate degree in Biblical Counseling.
 
Carson wears many hats week in and week out in order to help the church flourish. He leads the Student Ministry in Sunday morning small groups and Wednesday night bible studies. He and Elizabeth also serve as our janitors. Additionally, he creates our weekly bulletin, coordinates our praise team, and fills the pulpit from time to time.
