Pillar Church is led by Elders. Elders (or pastors) are biblically qualified men who oversee the local church, particularly through teaching God’s Word, praying, caring for church members, and training members to do the work of ministry. These are the men our congregation has recognized as elders.
1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-5
Johnathon Baggett
Johnathon Baggett and his wife Lindsay were born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina. While pastoring near Fayetteville in 2018, God called Johnathon to plant a church in a military community. To answer and prepare for this call, the Baggetts partnered with the Praetorian Project, and Johnathon completed a residency at Pillar Church of Woodlawn, Virginia. Afterwards, they moved back to Fayetteville to plant Pillar Church in his hometown! Johnathon is passionate about ministering to the military, discipling families through the challenges of life, and equipping the church to fulfill the Great Commission to bring the Gospel to all nations.
