My NCBC Story: Hoyt Elrod

1915 – 1999

North Cleveland Baptist is where I got saved.  I remember the preacher. I remember when some of the men of the church came back to where I was in the sanctuary and talked with me about becoming a Christian.  They said, “Hoyt, we know you are not a mean man, but you are lost.  And I had to realize that before I was saved.”  We lived on a farm, and we had hunting dogs.  Before I became a Christian, when we went rabbit hunting on Sunday mornings, I wouldn’t want the dogs to bark because I knew that hunting on Sunday morning wasn’t right.
