Jack Frasure Hyles (September 25, 1926-February 6, 2001) pastored the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana from 1959 to his death.
During his pastorate the church grew from a few hundred people to an average weekly attendance of approximately 20,000 through the church's large bus ministry.). In 1972 Christian Life Magazine proclaimed the church to have "The World's Largest Sunday School". By 1972 Hyles, along with Christian businessman Russell Anderson founded Hyles-Anderson College for the training of Baptist ministers and school teachers.
Hyles was also a leader in the Independent Baptist movement through his speaking at 'The Sword of the Lord' conferences with John R. Rice and his own annual "Pastors School". He was close friends with Curtis Hutson He wrote over 50 books in his lifetime. "Is There A Hell?" is one of Jack Hyles's most famous messages preached at a National Sword of the Lord Conference. Enemies of Soul Winning tackled many issues considered controversial in fundamental and evangelical circles. These include the doctrine of repentance, Lordship salvation, and the role of the church in soul winning. Calvary Contender wrote of Dr. Hyles, "Dr. Jack Hyles will be remembered as a one-of-a-kind, ever controversial leader whose ministry touched the lives of multitudes."
After Hyles passing his son-in-law, Jack Schaap became the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Hammond.
