~Announcement~

It with great joy that we announces the call of Rev. Dwayne Banks as the new pastor of Poplar Head Baptist Church. We welcome Pastor Dwayne, his wife, Laurie, and his two sons, J.J. and Brunson to the PHBC family and to the community.

Pastor Dwayne comes to us from Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in Pell City, Alabama near his home town of Odenville, Alabama. His wife, Laurie, is a native of Calhoun County. They met, got engaged, and were married at Poplar Head Baptist Church and we are thrilled to welcome them home.

We can't wait to begin this new season in the life of our church as we turn our focus to the future, believing that God has a big calling and great things in store for Poplar Head Baptist Church. To God be the glory!

But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,  and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”                                                                               -Matthew 20:26–28
