With
a unanimous vote, the Session is pleased to inform our church family
that Dr. Guy Richardson, president of the Jackson campus of Reformed
Theological Seminary, has agreed to become our interim supply pastor.
Dr.
Richardson has an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from
Auburn University, which initially prepared him for work in the family
construction business. He later returned to school and earned three
additional graduate degrees – a master’s degree from both Reformed
Theological Seminary and Georgia State University, and his doctorate
from Auburn University in Marriage and Family Counseling. He was
ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1987.
Dr.
Richardson is also a licensed professional counselor. For twelve years
he directed two church-based Christian counseling centers: First
Presbyterian Church in Augusta, Georgia; and Trinity Presbyterian Church
in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1996 he and his family moved to Newark,
Delaware where, for three years, he was the interim senior pastor for
Evangelical Presbyterian Church. After completing that work, he moved
to Mississippi in 1999 to assume leadership for the Jackson campus of
Reformed Theological Seminary.
He
and his wife, Denise, have been married for 31 years and have two adult
daughters. In addition to being a wife and mother, Denise is best
known by many for leading women’s Bible studies and speaking for women’s
retreats.
