Mitch Bellflower, Children's Pastor
After pursuing a life long dream in law enforcement and becoming an Investigator
for the State of Georgia, Mitch Bellflower was on top of the world and things could
not have been better. But, our amazing God had other plans for his life. In 2010 he
was called to the ministry but not just any ministry…Children’s Ministry of all things.
He and his wife Kellie, of 28 years, have always been engaged in the children’s side
of church from teaching Sunday school of all ages, going on mission trips to lead
VBS, Kids Camps etc. but never on a full time level. After much prayer and asking
God for bold answer to the calling, (a story worth asking about) Mitch walked away
from his dream career and said yes to full time ministry as the Children’s Pastor at
Lyons First Baptist Church. He leads close to 120 children and an average of 40
faithful volunteers each week.
He has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Rochelle University, and is
currently working on his Associate of Divinity in Biblical Studies at Southeastern
Baptist Theological Seminary. He has lived in Vidalia for 48 years and has two
children Brittany and Blaine.
Mitch’s sincere desire is to partner with parents in helping kids discover and
embrace a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
