Phillip Webber

Phillip Lee Webber, 62, of Abilene, Texas, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on February 17, 2026.

Phil was born on July 15, 1963. He was raised in church and faithfully served the Lord throughout his entire life. As a teenager, he accepted Christ as his Savior at church camp, a decision that shaped the course of his life and ministry. He attended Bible college in Springfield, Missouri, and later earned his master’s degree in theology from Liberty University.

Phil began his ministry as youth pastor at his home church, Wichita Baptist Tabernacle in Wichita, Kansas. A gifted musician, he also taught music classes at the church’s Christian school. It was there that he met the love of his life, Wendi. They were married in 1989 and faithfully served together in ministry for more than 36 years.

Phil and Wendi ministered in San Angelo, Texas, for 19 years before moving in 2012 to Boston, Massachusetts, where Phil served at Boston Baptist College as Dean of Men and a theology professor. In 2014, the family returned to Texas, where Phil pastored in Nederland for six years before moving to Abilene in 2020.

More than anything, Phil loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who treasured every moment spent with them. He is survived by his beloved wife, Wendi Webber; his children, Bailey and Weslee Parker, Wesley and Rachel Webber, and Kyle and Kaitlyn Webber; and his cherished grandchildren, Lennox, Maddox, and Dax Parker.

Phil had a deep love for the church and dedicated his life to serving God’s people. He surrounded himself with his longtime high school friends, friends in ministry, and church members who became like family. He was passionate about sharing Jesus with those who needed to know Him and found great joy in worship and music. Phil loved Southern Gospel music and attended as many concerts as he could. Next to music, watching the Cubs play baseball was his favorite way to spend time.

Phil will be remembered for his unwavering faith, his teaching, his servant’s heart, and his deep love for his family and the Lord. While his absence leaves a tremendous void, his family rejoices in the promise that he is now whole, healed, and in the presence of Jesus.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 27, at 4:00 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 871 Woodlawn Drive, Abilene, Texas. A livestream will be available for those unable to attend.
