Our pastor is Everett Meadows. He is a lifelong resident of the Beckley, West Virginia area. He was saved around the age of nine and shortly after he was called by God to enter the ministry. He struggled with the assurance of his salvation throughout his teen years. He was later brought to the assurance of his salvation by such passages as First John 5:13. Though he struggled with the same assurance of his salvation, he never doubted God’s call on his life. He entered Appalachian Bible College in the Fall of 1984 and four years later received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible and Theology with a minor in Pastoral Greek. God called him to be our pastor in January of 2013 after he served as interim for several months. Pastor Everett has a love for the Bible and good spiritual music. His favorite hymn is “The Bible Stands.”
