Tim Lovett, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, announced his retirement from full-time ministry Sept. 5. His last Sunday at the church was Sept. 19.
Lovett became pastor of Calvary Baptist in 2009. He came from Huffman Baptist Church, Birmingham, and had served other churches in Alabama and Kentucky in his 37 years of ministry.
He holds a bachelor’s degree from Samford University and a master of divinity and doctor of ministry from Southern Seminary.
Lovett told the congregation that while the announcement might seem sudden, he and his wife, Penny, had been praying and processing for months.
“Know that we love you, and we love this great place called Calvary,” he told the church.
