Pastor Bobby Helms got Saved on March 5, 1992, and surrendered his life to the Lord. He established Bright Spot Baptist Church October 7, 2007, and he also worked a full-time job at Charlotte Pipe and Foundry in Monroe for the past 38 years. He always went above and beyond in all the things he set his mind to. Although he accomplished many things in his life, winning souls was his main priority and purpose in life. Many lives were changed through his dedication to the Lord. His favorite word was “Balanced”, and his life showed living proof of that. One of his favorite phrases was “Keep Looking Up” and those who worked around him could testify of his positive attitude and great perspective on life. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and church family.
