Baptist pastor editor of The Sword
Curtis Hutson was born in Decatur, Georgia, to a barber and hair dresser, the second of five children.
He attended Avondale High School where he met his future wife, Barbara (Gerri) Crawford.
They began dating after graduation while Hutson was working at Scottdale Textile Mill. While working as a mail carrier, Hutson preached at church services and revivals in the Atlanta area. In 1956 he conducted a revival at the tiny Forrest Hills Baptist Church of Scottdale.
By the end of the week, Hutson had filled the fifty seats in the church, the pastor had resigned, and Hutson was called to replace him.
Although he had no formal training, Hutson served as pastor while continuing to work for the post office. In 1961, Hutson heard Jack Hyles preach at nearby Antioch Baptist Church, an evening meeting that changed his life.
The following Saturday he led three people to the Lord. "Every week thereafter for a number of years he led someone to Christ." He began to preach about soul winning, and his congregation began to follow his example.
In 1967 Hutson quit the post office to become a full-time pastor—at first for a salary of $75 a month.
Between 1969 and 1972, the church grew from 350 to 2,300 members. In 1976, when Hutson resigned after 20 years of pastoring, church membership was 7,900. Entering full-time evangelism, Hutson held area-wide evangelistic meetings from 1977 to 1980.
From 1974 to 1980, he also served as president of the now defunct Baptist University of America near Atlanta.
Hutson was gifted in using humor to engage an audience, and he memorized one-liners and funny stories topically so that he would have a collection of ready jokes on any subject. Two years later, Rice died and Hutson became editors
He served in this position for the remainder of his life while continuing to preach in churches across America. In 1992 Hutson was diagnosed with prostate cancer, of which he died in March 1995.
Shelton Smith became his successor at The Sword of the Lord.
In April 1999, the Curtis Hutson Center for Church Ministries was dedicated at Crown College, Powell, Tennessee.
