Eden Westside Baptist Church, Pell City, recently recognized Jacky and Denise Connell for 35 years of service.
Connell started as Eden Westside’s bivocational pastor in 1987 with less than 20 “devoted followers of Christ.” The church grew, and after 13 years he became the full-time pastor.
He previously led Prescott Baptist Church, Pell City, for six years and also served as a student minister at Happy Home Baptist Church, Leeds, where he was called into ministry at age 20.
The Connells have two children and six grandchildren.
