TYLER, Texas On Sunday, February 28, Dr. David Orlo Dykes, Senior Pastor of Green Acres Baptist Church for the past 30 years, announced his plans to retire on August 31, 2021. The time has come for younger leadership to step up and lead the church into the future, Dykes said in a video on Facebook. Franky, I believe some pastors try to hang on too long.
Dykes has been pastor of Green Acres since March of 1991 and in the 66-year history of Green Acres, is the longest-serving pastor and the first to retire.
“I love Tyler and Green Acres, Dykes said. I’m praying that the church will find my replacement before I retire so there will be a seamless transition to the next pastor. I am looking forward to handing the baton to the next generation of younger leadership.”
