Billy and Melita came to Beallwood in November of 2001. Billy came to the Lord at 14 and sensed God's call to pastor at the age of 16. A native of Opelika, Alabama, he has been a pastor for 35 years in Southern Baptist Churches.

He and Melita have two children, Melody Poole (Chris) and Jonathan (Katherine). Their children have blessed them with seven grandchildren: Eli, Asher, Lydia, Lyla, Silas, Gideon, and Evie Ruth. Billy is a 1980 graduate of Criswell Bible College and a 1982 and 2004 graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Scott is no stranger to the Columbus/Phenix City area or to Beallwood.  As a longtime member of Lakewood Baptist Church in Phenix City and a gifted singer, we are excited about his leadership at Beallwood in the areas of worship and investing in the choirs!

Jason pastors the Columbus Vietnamese Baptist Church, which meets in our shared facility.
