Pastor and Mrs. Daniel Leonard
"Now More Than Ever."

As of January 9, 2022, Daniel Leonard, who served as assistant pastor of Park Avenue Baptist Church, was unanimously voted in as senior Pastor. 

A note from Pastor:

"Friends, we hope that you will take the opportunity to come visit our church. We believe in old fashioned hymns and preaching. When you visit, you will be greeted by a friendly church that loves the Lord and lives to serve. We have a well- maintained nursery with friendly staff and a church full of young families. We offer Sunday School classes for all ages, as well as great special music and soul-stirring choir numbers. We hope you will check out our available ministries, our statement of faith, and some of the upcoming events. May the Lord bless, and we hope to see you soon."
