Paul Shero has been a Christian for sixty-six years and loves talking about Jesus every chance he gets! It has been his great joy and privilege to share the Good News in twenty states and sixteen foreign countries during his fifty-five years as a Gospel preacher. Forty-six of Paul’s preaching years have been spent in the pulpit at Southgate Church of Christ in San Angelo, Texas. Southgate is his favorite place to preach.
During his time there, the Southgate congregation has relocated and successfully completed an extensive building program. They also expanded their mission work and spend over $500,000 each year, preaching the Gospel all over the world. A private Christian School, San Angelo Christian Academy, has been established on the Southgate campus. The school is accredited and has a program for Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade with over 100 students presently enrolled.
Paul is known in San Angelo for his long-running local radio spot “I’m Talking about Jesus” and weekly newspaper column “What Does the Bible Say?”. He is the author of “From Mother’s Day to Father’s Day: 43 Daily Devotionals for Families” and regularly contributes to books and periodicals.
Paul speaks extensively at workshops, lectureships, family camps and Gospel Meetings. He is also a popular after-dinner speaker. He has been an active participant in church plants both in the United States and abroad. Paul served on the board of Pam American Lectures. Passionate about the vocation of preaching and committed to encouraging other ministers, Paul finds great satisfaction frequently participating in “Better Conferences”, hosted by the Jenkins Institute, and presenting at preacher training schools and Christian colleges.
Paul is the son of Gospel preacher, John Shero. He grew up at the Baker Heights Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas, where he met his wife, Patsy. He loved her right away and they have been happily married for over 56 years. The Sheros have two terrific daughters, Kimberly & Jennifer. They are “Honey & Pa” to eight grandchildren and three great-grandsons.
There is no greater joy for Paul & Patsy than gathering a crowd of family and friends around their table and breaking bread together at “Sunday Lunch” – a proud tradition of outreach, fellowship and faithfulness hosted in their home each week. There’s always room for one more at the table; they’ll be looking for you on Sunday!
