Brad Carr Named Licensed Lay Pastor for St. Paul’s, Bennettsville
On Sunday, June 7, St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Bennettsville began a new season when Bishop Edgar formally appointed Brad Carr to serve as their full-time Licensed Lay Pastor. Funding for the position came, in large part, through your gifts to the Thrive Together Initiative.
Brad looks forward to attending Trinity Anglican Seminary where, beginning in August, he will be enrolled in the church-based MDiv track. The hybrid program offers most of its course work online, but he will participate in winter and summer intensives on the Ambridge, PA campus.
Given St. Paul’s great need for a pastor after years without one and given that Brad is uniquely suited to serve in this role, Bp Edgar has approved his doing distance theological education rather than residential education.
Brad and his wife, Kim, South Carolina natives, grew up in the Pee Dee area and are looking forward to this new season of ministry. They have three children (ages 14, 8 and 6). Look for a story in the upcoming Jubilate Deo.
