Pastor Search

After five months of prayerful consideration, training and guidance by the TN Baptist Mission Board, our Pastor Search Committee recommended Brother Charles Henderson as a candidate to the Deacons for their consideration as our next Pastor. The Deacons have interviewed Brother Charles and now the Pastor Search Committee & the Deacons are excited to recommend Brother Charles Henderson as a candidate to the church congregation for their vote.

We have scheduled this church vote for Sunday morning, May 18th which will be the final step for this candidate recommendation. If this recommended candidate doesn’t receive a high percentage positive vote the Pastor Search Committee will then continue seeking God’s will for the next candidate.
