McCalla Avenue Baptist Church
These Men of God
Have Led Us
drawing of church

 

     "And he gave to some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." -- Ephesians 4:11-12

     The men listed [here] are those who have served this church as pastors.  Each has left his mark upon the church and what it has become.

     We would not seek to enumerate those things that were done while each was pastor, for every contribution by every man has been a step toward the greatness of the church.

     A wise man once said that our lives as individuals are the sum total of all those with whom we come in contact.  Thus it can be said of a church.  We are what the great pastors of our church have led us to be by their faithfulness to the Word, their dedication of life, their concern for each member of the church, and their desire that McCalla Avenue Baptist Church become a "Lighthouse for God" in this community.
