Reverend Lamar Lee evangelized for eight to ten years before he started pastoring full time. He came to Baxley to pastor the Baxley Church of God in 2006. He is originally from Hortense, Georgia.
âI feel like itâs been one year after another of renovations since I got here,â Rev. Lee said. âWe are trying to better the looks and make it more modern and contemporary at the same time. We discussed again whether to remodel or totally rebuild. We had a vision in mind. Weâve always had a desire to build a new sanctuary, but the real need for one took place about four or five years ago. We were too full. About three years ago, we really got serious and started planning. We wanted something that every age demographic would be proud of, something that our folks would be proud of as well as the people who came in to worship with us. We wanted to tie all our buildings together. Everything is under one roof now. A canopy runs from the youth building to the sanctuary. Everything downstairs is complete, but we are still working upstairs. We still have to repave the old parking lot; at that point, everything will be new.â
