Salvation Testimony
When I was seventeen, I supposedly got saved in a Baptist church…. At the age of twenty-one, I felt the calling to preach. Several years later, as a youth director and Sunday school teacher I realized I was not saved. All I had was a head knowledge of Christ, not a heart knowledge. I fought this for several years. At the age of thirty-three it became a burden, was I saved or not? During this time we were attending Bearing Cross Baptist Church. It was vacation Bible school and the theme for that week was Daniel in the lion’s den. I was in the adult class with my pastor, it was on a Thursday night, the twenty-second of June 1991, that after class was over I went to Pastor Calhoun and confronted him that I needed to be saved. I could not take it any longer, so I knelt down in that little room beside an old rusty brown chair and asked Jesus into my heart. I accepted Jesus that day and my life has not been the same. AMEN!
The Call to Preach
God had a plan for my life from the very beginning. I got married when I was eighteen to Mrs. Kristy Theroux. I made a promise to God that the first Sunday of our marriage, that I will have my family in church always. At the age of twenty-one, I felt the calling to preach. I quickly became a youth director and Sunday school teacher. A few years later, I was led to a sound doctrine Bible believing church. Bible Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Arkansas. From there I recieved the calling to preach under Dr. Jack Hyles while attending pastor school. A few months after that I surrendered to the missions field of Aguascalientes, Mexico. I finished my Bible training at Bethel Baptist College in Jacksonville, Arkansas and went on deputation for a year then onto the field as a missionary to Mexico. A year later my wife developed a blood disorder and a year after that, we had to return back to state side. God allowed me to become the assistant pastor at Liberty Baptist Church, and from there God gave me the pastoral position here at Cornerstone Baptist Church. I pastored Cornerstone for over 18 years and God used me to complete several building programs, break attendance records several times, see countless souls saved and follow in believers baptism, and train men of God to continue the ministry after my retirement in August 2024.
Evangelism
In August 2024, Dr. George Theroux stepped down as pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in McAlester. Under the leadership of Dr. Terry LeQuieu, Cornerstone is sending Dr. Theroux out as an evangelist to be a help and encouragement to other ministries as he has been to us in McAlester, Oklahoma. Dr. Theroux’s preaching style is an old-fashioned, fundamental, and primarily evangelist in nature. Over the decades Dr. Theroux has served in almost every aspect of the ministry from driving the church bus to Prophecy Conferences. Here are just a few suggestions that Dr. Theroux would love to help you and your church grow in their Faith:
- Old Fashioned Revivals
- Mission Conferences
- Prophecy Conferences
- Stewardship Conferences
- Bus Ministry/Outreach Conferences
- Biblical Authority Conferences
- Soul Winning Classes
- Pulpit Supply
Dr. Theroux is available for booking either single services or multi-day, and even full week conferences.
Doctorate of Theology
Cornerstone Baptist Church would like to recognize Bro. George Theroux as having finished his Doctorate of Theology degree. Pastor Theroux finished his degree and graduated in May of 2013 by completing a commentary on the book of Revelation. God has truly given Dr. Theroux the knowledge and understanding to help us comprehend and correctly apply the book of Revelation to us.
