MIDLAND, TEXAS - Craig Thames describes himself as "down to earth."
"What you see is what you get," said the new pastor of Westside Baptist Church. "I just simply try to show people there's a God out there and there's a better way of life. I try to live it myself first and foremost so they can see that evidence."
Thames was officially installed April 18 at the conservative independent Baptist church, though he began serving as an interim pastor in January. The church's previous leader left in August 2009.
Church trustee Jimmy Alvarez said soon after Thames began attending Westside Baptist, he volunteered to help the church in any way he could.
