The Staff of Beechmont Baptist Church
Dr. J. Derek Yelton, Pastor
I want to personally invite you to Beechmont Baptist Church to take a
look
at what have to offer and for you to
prayerfully consider joining us. The
Lord called me to be the pastor at
Beechmont Baptist since November 16,
2003. I am originally from Columbia,
South Carolina and have my Doctorate
of Ministry from Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary here in Louisville.
My wife, Joy, and I have been married
for 22 years and have four wonderful
children. As pastor, my aim is to
glorify God by reaching the lost and
equipping the saved. Enjoying golf and
doing carpentry work are two of my
favorite pasttimes. Let me leave you
with a verse: 2nd Timothy 2:15 "Do
your best to present yourself to God as
one approved, a workman who does
not need to be ashamed and who correctly
handles the word of truth."
Music Minister
"God
is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth" (Luke 4:24).
To worship God we must do so in
spirit and in truth. It is my hope to lead us into worship each
time we meet together.
Our God is worthy of our praise and
adoration.
My wife Annie and I joined you
here at Beechmont in November of 2008. I am currently a student
at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary and have called
Louisville my home for over 20 years. Come join us as we praise
our Lord and make
a joyful noise unto Him.
Davey Ladner, Minister to Youth
Who is Davey Ladner? Here's a note from him:
"My passion as a youth minister has been first of all to see teenagers
come to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and then to carefully
and prayerfully support and disciple them into that close, personal,
love relationship that He seeks with all of us. It is my desire
to instill within young people that call from Paul to Timothy in 1
Timothy 4:12, “Do not let anyone look down on you because you are
young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in
love, in faith, and in purity.”
I was called to Beechmont Baptist in July of 2008. My wife,
Teresa, and I, along with our four children, moved from the Mississippi
Gulf Coast to the Louisville area in June of 2008. Prior to
coming to Louisville, I have had over ten years experience in youth
ministry and education, not only serving on church staff, but also
working in the public education system as a principal. I hold a
Bachelor of Science degree in Education from The University of Southern
Mississippi, and a Master of Education in Educational Administration
from William Carey College. I am currently enrolled in the Master
of Divinity program at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary."
Why not visit Beechmont Baptist
this Sunday and meet him and his family as he comes to lead our youth
into a stronger relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
