Pastor Fox was born in Nevada, MO in 1932; he was a graduate of Nevada High School in 1950. He graduated from Southwest Baptist College (now University) with an Associate in Arts Degree; attended Baylor University; graduated from William Jewell College with a B.A. and from Midwestern Baptist Seminary with a Master of Divinity. Pastor Fox was involved in pastoral ministry from 1952 until 1963 when he and his wife Ann were appointed as missionaries to Thailand.

While on the mission field, Hubert and Ann were involved in several types of ministry. After language study (they speak, read and write Thai fluently), they were in rural evangelism in South Thailand. They were dorm parents for two years in Bangkok for missionary kids whose parents were serving in other parts of the country. The last 20 years of their service was as teachers at Thailand Baptist Seminary, a training school for Thai men and women preparing for various ministries in Thai churches. Both served as treasurer of that institution, and Hubert also filled several administrative positions.

In 2000, First Baptist Church, Nevada invited Hubert to join the ministerial staff as Associate Pastor of Senior Adults. With the exception of a six month period when they returned to Thailand, he has served in that position until the present. Hubert and Ann have a son, Plilip and a daughter, Beth, 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
