Pastor: Elevate Church s story shows God s ability to work in any situation
Dale Denning’s life looks noticeably different than it did two years ago.
Denning was the senior pastor at Chapel Hill Baptist Church in Gibson County with one of the largest congregations in the area.
But in late 2019, he resigned from the church not knowing what he would do next.
Because he had Sunday mornings free, he preached a few sermons at different churches in the area as a visiting preacher.
Then a few weeks into that in early 2020, a friend, Tommy Bowman, called him with a question.

An Associated Press review of thousands of records has revealed multiple cases when Louisiana State troopers and some of their supervisors exchanged emails with casual, demeaning uses of the n-word. All of it comes against the backdrop of a federal civil rights investigation over the in-custody death of a Black motorist that has roiled the state s premier law enforcement agency and led to an abrupt change in its leadership.
