Rev. Christopher Lennon, a native son of the Piney Grove community in Evergreen, North

Carolina, was appointed Pastor of Bryant Swamp Missionary Baptist Church in June 2025.

His appointment followed 14 years of dedicated service as Associate Pastor, a role he

embraced with humility and a deep sense of purpose beginning in 2011. Rev. Lennon’s

heart for ministry is rooted in a rich family heritage of pastors and ministers who helped

shape his unwavering commitment to God, his family, and his community.

Rev. Lennon’s educational journey reflects his dedication to lifelong learning and

excellence in service. He holds an Associate Degree in Business Administration from

Southeastern Community College (SCC), where he developed foundational skills in

leadership, organization, and strategic planning. He also earned an Associate Degree in

General Education from Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), broadening his

academic scope and equipping him with a well-rounded educational foundation.

​

In pursuit of a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a call to serve more faithfully, Rev.

Lennon completed coursework in theology and divinity at Cathedral Bible College in Myrtle

Beach, South Carolina. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree at

Carolina College of Biblical Studies in Fayetteville, North Carolina. His ministerial path has

been greatly influenced by the mentorship and guidance of Rev. Dr. Thurman Everett,

former moderator of the Lumber River Baptist Association, whose wisdom and spiritual

leadership helped shape Rev. Lennon’s pastoral identity.

​

Rev. Lennon resides in Hope Mills, North Carolina, with his beloved wife, Dr. Adrian Lennon.

Together, they are the proud parents of six children and the joyful grandparents of three

granddaughters. Their partnership in both life and ministry is a testament to God’s grace

and their shared vision for helping others. In addition to his pastoral responsibilities, Rev.

Lennon serves as a Business Manager in the automotive industry and co-owns an

outpatient mental health practice in Fayetteville with his wife. Through this practice, they

 serve and support the healing of individuals and families facing emotional and psychological

challenges, combining faith-based values with professional mental health services.

Rev. Lennon’s life is marked by a deep devotion to service, a solid spiritual foundation, and

a passion for empowering others through both ministry and mental health advocacy. His

ability to lead with compassion, teach and preach, and serve with humility makes him a

powerful and trusted voice within the Bryant Swamp Missionary Baptist Church family and

beyond. As God’s son, pastor, and mentor, Rev. Lennon continues to walk in his calling with

integrity and faithfulness, pointing others toward Christ through both word and deed.
