Landon’s areas of ministry include serving as youth pastor and children’s pastor.  These two roles will occupy most of his time.  He loves to teach and preach so he also will have several opportunities to preach in worship during the year.  Landon and Shelby live in the parsonage and Landon has agreed to become our new groundskeeper.  Landon has served for some time as the groundskeeper for the NC East camp.  He loves mowing and is even excited about that aspect of his responsibilities.  

Pastor Heath Mullikin
Heath is the alumni director at Southern Wesleyan University.  Heath lives in Liberty with his three teenage children, twins Milena and Charis and Drake.   Many of our teens know and love Heath and the kids because they know them from youth camp.  
Heath is responsible for website and social media (Facebook, etc) and for sound/tech ministries.  He also helps with our Wednesday night bus ministry and youth.  Heath will also preach during the year.  Heath’s job description will be somewhat flexible since he comes with many talents and abilities.  What a help and blessing he is going to be as we continue to grow and build new areas of ministry.
