Rev.
Brian Harmon, Pastor
Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Brian Harmon. I was born and raised in Raleigh county and I have lived in West Virginia nearly all of my life. I graduated in 1987 from Shady Spring High School and served in the United States Navy afterwards. I attended Concord College and graduated in 1994 with a degree in Biology. I moved to North Carolina for seven years and it was during my stay there that I was called into Gospel ministry.
I was officially ordained into the ministry on May 7, 2000 at Agape Baptist Church in Mebane, North Carolina. I received my Bible education diploma from Liberty Bible Institute, Lynchburg, Virginia in 2000. Since then, I have been planning, preparing, and organizing to plant and establish a new church in southern Raleigh County.
I recently earned a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling in 2008 from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with hopes of offering Biblical counseling to those in the community an our new church. I am currently earning my Doctorate degree in Education (Ed.D) from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I have been married for 16 years to Leslie, my wife, and we have 4 children: Scott (15), Aaron (8), Brianna (6), and a 4 year old, Will.
