Welcome Our New Pastor: Bro. Anthony P. Langley and his Family
November 2, 2009 |
Calling and receiving a new pastor is a significant occasion in the life of a church and therefore deserves a lot of earnest, effective prayer, renewed commitment to God and submission to His authority. In response to our prayers, God has provided us with an exceptionally qualified shepherd by the name of Anthony P. Langley. We are blessed that in response to our pulpit search committee’s call and in obedience to God’s will, Brother Anthony has chosen to assume leadership of our congregation. He will assume his duties and deliver God’s word to us again on November 29th.
On October 11th, Bro. Anthony delivered his first sermon to the congregation of First Baptist of Lepanto. It was a message that warned us of the pitfalls of living to serve a religion instead of a relationship with Jesus. He alerted us to beware of hypocrisy and provided practical applications to streng- then our walk with God. Having obtained his Masters of Divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, his teaching is rooted in strict, conservative, Biblical theology.
Bro. Anthony, 37, is from Pascagoula, Mississippi and has been presiding at the First Baptist Church in Byhalia, MS for the last five and a half years. He and his wife, Mysty have four children. Zack, Cameron, Chase and Olivia. We welcome all of them to our church family and pray that God will bless them during this time of transition.
