Update - SEPTEMBER 2024 - Pastoral Transition & Healthy Church Assessment Update

As of September 1st, we are excited to welcome Pastor Barry Campbell, who will be guiding us through this important season of transition. We believe God is already preparing the right person to become our next lead pastor. In the meantime, Pastor Barry and his wife, Marci, are with us, offering their wisdom and support. You can watch Pastor Barry’s first sermon with us here.


We’re also thrilled to share that our first 40 spots for the Healthy Church Assessment filled up in just two days! Thank you to everyone who registered early to help us better understand who we are as FBC Longview and how God has uniquely made us to carry out His mission. We’re working hard to open more time slots for those who missed out due to the amazing response. The Healthy Church Assessment team will be with us all day on September 28th, conducting interviews. Please keep everyone involved in your prayers, asking for clarity, unity, and wisdom as we move forward.
