Leadership

Pastor David considers it such an honor to serve as the pastor of Antioch Baptist Church. Originally from Kingsport, TN, Pastor David was called to Antioch in January of 2026. He is devoted to the Lord’s calling to minister, but also to his family: Wife, Anne; Daughter, Jenna; and Son-in-law, Marcos.

Over the last 17 years, Pastor David had the privilege of pastoring two wonderful churches in Tennessee, and now he is excited to see what God has in store here in North Carolina. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Master’s degree, and a Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Studies. But, more important than degrees on a piece of paper, his heart is simply to love people, preach God’s Word faithfully, and journey alongside our church family as we grow and serve others together in Christ.

Pastor Doug moved from Arizona to Lumberton to lead the worship ministry at Antioch. He is joined by his wife, Deborah, a native of Nagaland, India. They have four children, Keva, Johnny, James, and Livi. Pastor Doug earned a B.A. from Arizona State University, a Master of Arts in Worship from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate in Worship Studies from the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies.

Pastor Mark joined the Antioch team in April of 2022. He and his wife, Karen, have three children: two sons, Brandon and Patrick, and a daughter, Brandy. He also has five grandchildren: Mikayla, Helaina, Kynadie, Jaxon, and Beau. Mark is a graduate of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has pastored three churches in Samford and Lumberton, North Carolina. 

Billie Bowen has served as financial secretary for several years at Antioch Baptist Church. Her family joined Antioch in 1965. She has held many different positions within the church since that time. 

Al joins the Antioch team after 34 years of service to the United Parcel Service (UPS). He has been a member of Antioch since the 1980's and has been serving on a volunteer basis for many decades until he was hired in February of 2021. His primary role is in member care and office management.
