Mothers’ influence guides local pastors to this day
Pastors around the county are happy to look back on the building blocks of love, support and faith provided by their mothers as they considered the ministry.
All agree they wouldn’t be where they are today without the influence of mom.

“My mom has been and continues to be one of the main reasons I’m in ministry as a pastor today,” said the Rev. Brandon Lenhart of North Main Street Church of God in Butler.
Lenhart said he was born and raised in Kentucky, then attended Bible college and eventually earned his master's degree in theology.
He has been a pastor for 24 years, serving congregations in multiple states before being called to North Main Street Church of God.
