Who We Are

Pastor Lawton became the senior pastor in November of 2006 after serving for two and a half years on staff. Before coming to New Guilford he served in pastoral ministry for ten years in other Brethren In Christ Churches. He and his wife Mary have been married since January 3, 2004. Lawton and Mary have three sons. Lawton’s passion is to be part of a church that is in love with God and shares that love with others inside and outside of the church. He values committed God-centered relationships, teamwork, and living by faith.

His interests include spending time with the family, running, cycling, four-wheeling, sports, and watching movies. Lawton and Mary are excited about serving God and the New Guilford Brethren In Christ Church. They look forward to seeing God work in their midst.

Our Vision

The New Guilford BIC Church embraces the verse, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13) as encouragement and reason for trusting Jesus Christ with our today and tomorrow.  We live for today asking God to make a difference right now, right here.  We look forward to tomorrow with the understanding that God wants to do more… take us deeper in a relationship with Him and others, make His will and ways more evident in our lives, and use us in a greater way to impact our neighbors, friends, and even strangers.
