OUR STORY

Evangelist CT Townsend

Raised in the mountains of Charleston, WV, CT grew up in the home of a pastor. After graduating high school from Fair Haven Christian School, he attended Pensacola Christian College for 1 year. After returning home, CT enrolled West Virginia State University and began chasing a business degree.

At the age of 21, God changed all of CT’s plans and called him to be a gospel preacher! Just a few months later, following God’s will, he moved to North Augusta, South Carolina, enrolled in Victory Baptist College, and worked on staff as an assistant to the pastor. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Theology. It was while he was attending Victory that he fell in love and married Mrs. Becky. With the blessing of pastor, Dr. R. Larry Brown, Victory was the launching pad of their evangelistic ministry.

In 2012, CT had the privilege to work under the leadership of Dr. Ralph Sexton Jr. at Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, as an assistant pastor. It was here under the ministry of Dr. Sexton that God began to implant deeper the burden for evangelism and revival.

CT, Becky, and their family traveled for seven years across the country sharing the Gospel of Christ. Their sending church was Temple Baptist  Church in Anderson, SC, where Becky’s father is the pastor.

In 2019, the Lord called CT to pastor Victory Baptist Church. Pastor CT, Becky, and their three children, Tucker, Syler, and Everlee, now live in North Augusta, SC.
