Our Pastor – Eddie Sutton

I became the Pastor of Wayne Avenue Baptist Church on January 3, 2021. My wife Barbie and my twin boys Cristian and Tristian are excited to be in Lubbock and look forward to what God is going to do. I had the privilege of growing up in a Pastor’s home. At the age of 6 I made a profession of Faith in Jesus Christ. Sadly though, my teenage years, while going to church actively, were met with a coldness to God. At the age of 25 the Holy Spirit began to convict me of my need for salvation. I knew that I did not want to die and spend eternity in Hell nor did I want the fear of “what will people think” to cause me to put off what needed to be done. At approximately 4 am on February 22, 2008, I called upon the Lord for salvation and I’m so thankful I did. The call to preach and live for him has only grown stronger in my life since that day.

We would like to invite you to visit one of our services where you to can hear about the salvation that only comes through Jesus Christ. – John 14:6

At Wayne Avenue Baptist Church we are “Building Lives by the Book” and that book is the King James Bible.
