For Immediate Release

Hickory Withe Baptist Church is pleased to announce Daniel Jerkins will assume the role of Senior Pastor, following a vote on September 22. The vote passed with 97% approval.

Daniel joined Hickory Withe’s staff in 2008 as Students and Recreation Minister, serving and expanding these ministries. Beginning in 2012, Daniel’s position shifted to Associate Pastor administering and leading alongside Brother Eddie Little. Daniel holds a Masters’ of Divinity from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.

Following Brother Eddie’s retirement, Hickory Withe formed a pastor search committee of members with various backgrounds, who began to pray and consider who the Lord had in store to lead Hickory Withe. After several months of prayer, collecting and reviewing resumes, and interviews, the committee believed that Daniel was who the Lord had chosen for Hickory Withe.
