Pastor Drew Eastes came to our church in 2022. Before arriving in Lebanon, he spent fourteen years as a full-time evangelist, preaching over 3,000 times in a wide range of cultural and denominational contexts. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in theology from Lee University and a Master of Divinity from Duke University. He is currently completing a Doctorate of Theology at Duke, where he is specializing in preaching and worship.
His wife, Stepheny, is a licensed TESOL educator and an experienced children’s minister. She is also a graduate of Lee University. Drew and Stepheny enjoy being outdoors, playing games, and cheering for the Tennessee Volunteers. Their daughter, Allison, is a toddler and never meets anyone she doesn’t like. Together, the Eastes family loves people and has a heart for sharing the gospel with unreached individuals.
