Leadership

Some of the earliest memories that I have take me back to the second grade; everyone was putting a star on the board of what they wanted to be when they grew up. On my star I wrote, "a preacher". From that moment life began to throw many passions my way from sports to outdoors to eventually firefighting. All of my plans began to push towards Fire College - and eventually a fire scientist - but in all the planning, I seemed to forget to ask God what He desired and what His plans were. I began to ask God why all my plans were falling through and the answer I got took me back to the 2nd grade.
 
I graduated Troy University with an Associate of Science Degree and then went to Leavell College of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry Degree. I have been serving Jesus in the local church since 2001. In what started small as a volunteer, God has enlarged my territory and brought me to one of the greatest churches, and continues to allow me to be Senior Pastor for some of the greatest people I have ever known.

I have the privilege to be husband to Leslie, a Godly woman who supports our ministry and truly uses her gifts for the Kingdom. I have twin daughters, Callie and Hallie who keep life interesting and continue to help me experience a love that I have never experienced before.

Hey! I’m Randy Ethridge, and I serve as the Executive Director of Ministry Operations at Boones Chapel Baptist Church.

My family and I started attending Boones Chapel in 2017, became members in 2019, and after several years of volunteering, I officially joined the staff in May 2026. One of the things I love most about Boones Chapel is the people. I’m passionate about helping lead our church into the future, equipping our staff and ministry leaders, and creating opportunities for people to know Jesus and grow in their faith. Whether it’s planning for the future, developing our ministries, or navigating the challenges that come with growth, I love being part of what God is doing through our church.

My wife, Caroline, and I have three children: Landon, Adalynn, and Hannah. Outside of church, you’ll usually find me spending time with family and friends or somewhere around a ball field.

Boones Chapel truly is a second home for our family. It’s much more than a place where I serve; it’s a church family we love. I’m grateful to be part of this ministry and excited about what God has in store for Boones Chapel!

Hi! I'm Kevin and I've served here at Boones Chapel as the Worship Pastor since September of 2025. I surrendered to full time ministry in my twenties after years of various opportunities to lead worship while some amazing mentors poured into my life. For me, this call to full time ministry was a slow burn of being obedient in the small things, not a "bright light" moment of realization. I submitted myself to Christ, asked Him to use me, and then I walked through the doors He placed in my path. He's been so faithful in spite of me! In 2007, one of those seemingly small moments of obedience to the Lord was to say yes and serve as an intern at the church I grew up in. It led to me being asked to serve as the interim worship leader in 2010 and ultimately as the Worship Pastor for almost a decade after being ordained at that same, sweet church in October of 2011.

I love serving the local church and my heart is to lead and teach God's people to worship Him with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. I strive to make people feel loved and welcomed while they grow deeper in their faith. One of my favorite parts of this role is seeing the church connect to God through the songs we sing together. When someone is totally surrendering themselves in worship to our Heavenly Father, the whole Body of Christ is encouraged and built up!

My wife Jordyn and I met in 2007 when we were connected by a sweet family friend to lead worship together and we never stopped! We've been married since 2009 and have two awesome kids together; Maddie came along in 2011 and Roman in 2013. As a family we're far from perfect but we're trying to point to Jesus with every step we take!

Jordyn and I get to lead worship for various events across the southeast and beyond as "Jordyn and Kevin" (super original band name, right?). We're so thankful for the relationships we've formed through our ministry together and we utilize it to make disciples as Jesus taught His believers to do. We love bringing students and young adults from our church along with us to develop their gifts, teach them what it means to worship and lead, and release them to serve the Body of Christ.

When we aren't at church you can usually find us enjoying coffee (mainly me and Maddie!), cruising around and exploring our community, playing video games together (mainly me and Roman!) or bundled up watching a good movie (definitely Jordyn's favorite!).

I love knowing our Boones family and I'd love to get to know you better! Come say hey any time you see me or email me if you have any questions. Just click the Contact button below.

I hold on to Proverbs 3:5-7 and encourage you to as well: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil."

I walked into Boones Chapel for the first time around 2007, and since then it has become home to me. I’ve been through the Boones youth group and ALL that entails with trips, camps, lock-ins, DNows, and the pranks that were included!

I’ve seen our church go through tragedy due to a tornado in 2011, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way we responded. I’ve also seen this small country church grow from 100 people on a Sunday morning to 700!

I’ve had the privilege of serving Boones as a Deacon, Sunday School Director, Men’s Minister, and now as Student Pastor. One of my favorite verses is 1 Corinthians 6:20, “…for you were bought at a price.” My goal in everything I do is to honor that price paid for me! But added to that, I have a desire to get others to do the same. The Gospel has changed me, and I will share that truth until God calls me home.

I graduated from our local high school, Marbury High, in 2011 and then married my high-school sweetheart, Jolee Chatman, in 2014, and we have three kids: Ellie, Callen, and Coleman. We LOVE what we GET to do in Student Ministry! Not only do we have a good time, which may include a midnight trip to Buc-ees or Whataburger, we hope to teach your student the TRUTH of Jesus Christ as they mature and enter the adult world. Jolee, myself, and our Boones Student Team will treat your student as our own. If you are or have a 7th-12th grader, JOIN US!

Hi! I'm Stacey Pitts and I have been a member of Boones Chapel since 2020. It has truly been a place of healing and rest for me — a church family that feels like home.

I graduated from Troy University in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree and later earned my Master’s in Counseling. After college, I stepped straight into ministry, serving in a variety of roles over the years. From leading mission trips to Belize to serving local churches as a Children’s Director, the Lord has faithfully allowed me to pour into the next generation in many different ways.

I am so grateful that God has called me to serve at Boones Chapel in this role. It is a responsibility I do not take lightly, and I truly love teaching children about Jesus and helping them grow in their faith.

When I’m not at church or spending time with my nieces and nephews, you’ll likely find me on a cruise or exploring somewhere new.

Fun Fact: I’ve visited over 20 countries… and counting!

Hi! I'm Hope Blanton and I serve as the Ministry Assistant at Boones Chapel, where I support the day-to-day ministries of the church! I am passionate about being part of what God is doing in and through the local church.

I am a lifelong local.. go Bulldogs! I married my high school sweetheart, Garrett, in 2016! One of the greatest callings God has placed on our hearts as a couple is advocating for children. We are licensed foster parents for the State of Alabama and we believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, valued, and seen.

Outside of ministry, I am a Disney fanatic, cat lady, and loyal antique shopper.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve at Boones Chapel and look forward to all that God has in store for our church!
