Our Pastor

Pastor Stephen Seaford was born and raised in North Carolina and has a love for the Brushy Mountains. Pastor Stephen first understood his need for salvation and trusted Christ as his Savior on December 14, 2001.

Pastor Stephen earned an Associate's degree in Music from West Lenoir Baptist School of Ministry and completed a Bachelor's degree in Christian Education from Andersonville Theological Seminary. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Pastoral Leadership from Andersonville Theological Seminary.

Pastor Stephen has spent over ten years teaching in Christian education, and in July 2021, the Lord began to clearly direct his heart toward the ministry of preaching. In 2022 the Lord led him to serve as an Assistant Pastor in Statesville for three years. He has a passion for preaching God's Word, teaching truth clearly, and caring for people where they are.

Stephen and his wife, Emma, were married in October 2021. They have been blessed with two sons and a daughter: James Elliot, Caleb Michael, and Haven Elisabeth. Together, they count it a privilege to serve the Lord and to raise their family in and around the local church.
