Donovan was reared in Columbia, MS and met Christ as a young boy in First Baptist Church, Columbia. He is a graduate of Mississippi State University and Ole Miss Law School. In addition to his role as Worship Leader of Foxworth First Baptist Church, he serves as Columbia Municipal Court Judge and in the Marion County Youth Court while maintaining a private law practice.
Donovan has always enjoyed music and the ways music can be used to worship God. However, in 2004, God called him to use the desire of musical worship in a ministry format. That year marked the beginning of his ministry as Music Director for Goss Baptist Church. He continued in that capacity until 2015 when he began concentrating on Revival and Interim work. Then, in 2017, God called him to Foxworth First Baptist Church where he, his wife (Joy) and son (Grayson), have enjoyed serving with such a wonderful, Spirit-filled congregation.
In addition to his family, work and ministry roles, Donovan enjoys duck hunting, dove hunting, fishing and golf (and he MAY have put his son on the same path).
“If you don’t have a church home, please visit Foxworth First Baptist Church!
It is a welcoming atmosphere and the people love to worship our Savior!”
