Leadership

In Sept. of 1997, a wild young man from Rossville Ga. Was gloriously saved by the grace of  God. A few years later he was called to preach and ordained Sept. 2004 at Shiloh Baptist where he served as a youth pastor until 2009. God’s call came again in Feb. 2009 when Bro. Rocky became Senior Pastor of Sale Creek First Baptist for 6 wonderful years. In January of 2015, God’s call came once again, and the Lord placed Bro. Rocky as the new Senior Pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist.    -   Click to READ MORE

Joshua Ehrlich joined the MCBC Framily in February 2024. He was born and raised in the church but began to truly fall in love with Jesus in his junior high and high school years. It was during this time that he began to sense God's call into the ministry. Because of this, he has a heart for youth and desires to help the next generation of believers grow in their relationships with Christ. He is not alone in this endeavor, though, as he married the love of his life in September 2023. Pastor Josh and his bride, Rachel, seek to serve God however He calls them to, all for His Glory.
