Ministry Staff

Rev. Troy Pearson, Senior Pastor
"I am so excited that God has led my family to serve here at West Side Baptist Church. My wife, Christie, and I have spent most of our lives living in the Richmond area. The Lord shook things up a bit when He moved us and our three youngs sons, Noble, Zane, and Cross, to Fort Worth, Texas where I attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Then, God decided that we were not "southern" enough, so He moved us to Paraguay, South America, where we served as missionaries for four years with New Tribe Mission. Our daughter, Kali, was added to our family during that time. An ever-increasing burden for the people of my own country led us back to serve in the United States. We are thankful that God has chosen the Harrisonburg area for us to serve and live for Him. I would like to personally invite you to come and worship the Lord with our family here at West Side Baptist Church."

Chip Heyd, Minister to Students
"At the age of 15 I felt pulled toward full time ministry, specifically working with youth, which led to me pursuing that dream. I obtained a double major at Moody Bible Institute in Sports/Recreational Ministry and Bible. After graduation I went back to camp ministry for a period of time before God led me to West Side Baptist. Growing up I had a very strong mentor, which led to the great desire and passion I now have for mentoring youth."
