Meet Our Pastor

Rev. Gerald "Gerry" Hale

I am a native of Camden, Tennessee. I served as an appointed career Missionary with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (IMB,SBC) for 28 years, working in Hong Kong, Cambodia, Mexico and Belize. I retired from career international missions on May 31, 2008, and am I working with this incredible Family of God where I have the preveledge of giving back 10% or more of my resources and as much time as needed to serve them. You, too, can have that same preveledge by coming and joining us in the work of the Lord. You will be glad you did and we will too!

I would like to meet you. Please visit us and give us a chance to grow on you! But remember this; it is not what we can do for you, it is what you can do for the Lord that counts! If you know Jesus as your Savior we have a great family for you to be a part of. If you don't know Jesus come let us share Him with you so that you can find the contentment in your life that you have been looking for.
