Pastor Shane and his wife, Kelly have been married twenty-three years. Born and raised in Bradley County, Shane is licensed and ordained to the work of the Gospel ministry and has been serving as a Pastor for twenty-three years.  Pastor Shane is the Senior Pastor at Eastview Baptist Church.   Shane is a graduate of Liberty University. Hear his heart: "I have a passion to teach God's word to adults and children guiding them into a relationship with Jesus Christ, encouraging them in their spiritual growth, and equipping them to become fully devoted followers of Christ who impacts their community for Christ. I have learned through the trials of life, as Paul writes in Philippians 4:11 'in whatever state I am to be content' because I agree with Paul when he says in Philippians 1:21 'For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.' It is a privilege to serve in the ministry and see people believe in Christ being built up in their faith, bonding with other believers, breaking forth in passionate service so their lives will continually bring forth glory in God's name."

Pastor Shane has served as a church-planter and in church revitalization and has a heart specifically for missions and discipleship.  .He has served on multiple boards and organizations within the local community. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ocoee Region.  Shane served on the Historical Committee for the Tennessee Baptist Convention. 

Pastor Shane is ultra-conservative and believes that our nation and most American churches are living in compromise.  He is currently writing his first book, “Staring in the Face of Comprise” that will highlight the many areas of compromise that are taken place in the lives of Christians.  The book will reveal how many Christians do not even know they are living in compromise and Pastor Shane prays the book will be a guide to stir the hearts of those who want to live by God’s standards to stand firm in these perilous times.
