Reverend Larry W. Camp, Senior Pastor

The call to preach came at the age of seventeen but he did not respond to that call until six years later. He started preaching in 1975. Pastor Camp was ordained in 1986 under the leadership of Dr. Curtis L. Whitney, and called to the Bethlehem Baptist Church in February, 1989.
