Leadership

Andrew was called as the Student Pastor at Lakeside in May 2015, and in May of 2020 the church called him to be the Senior Pastor.  He is a graduate of the Baptist College of Florida where he met his wife Sarah. They have been married since June 2016, and have 2 children Judson and Lottie.. In his free time he enjoys making and eating BBQ and doing just about anything outdoors with his family and their dog, Bo.

Growing up in church, he received Christ at the age of 10, but it wasn’t until he entered his high school student ministry that he really began to grow in his relationship with Christ. This partly fueled his love for student ministry and continues to play a part in his passion for the whole local church. His desire is for Lakeside to be a light in the community and a people passionate about seeing those around them come to know Jesus.

Tony accepted the call to join Lakeside and become the Associate Pastor of Families in November of 2020. In October of 1997, he prayed to receive Christ and was baptized. Tony answered the call to vocational ministry in 2001 and attended the Baptist College of Florida 2010-2014 where he earned his B.A. in Ministry Studies. He married his high school sweetheart Deanna in 1992 and they have 5 children Emily, Jacob, Molly, Trey, and Jasmine. (Trey and Jasmine are still at home). In his free time Tony enjoys watching and playing sports. He believes that his life experiences help him to relate to students no matter where they are. “God wastes nothing. He uses the good, bad, and ugly to draw people to the Gospel and bring glory to Himself.” Tony loves serving others and seeing the lives of young and old transformed in Christ. 

Kerry has been serving Lakeside as Administrative Assistant since January 2020.
