Andalusia pastor McVay dies at 49

Stacey Evens McVay, pastor of Victory Baptist Church, Andalusia, in Covington Baptist Association, died Jan. 7. He was 49.

McVay’s family was well-known in the area so when he answered the call to become the pastor of Victory Baptist in 2015 it was “a tremendous blessing” to the congregation, said Otis Corbitt, director of missions for Covington Association.

“Victory is a small church and had been without a pastor for about four years,” Corbitt said. “We need more men like Stacey to answer God’s call to pastor bivocationally and love their church the way Stacey did.”

McVay is survived by his wife, Kathy; daughters, Leslie and Katon; sons, Evens, Avry and Ethan; and eight grandchildren.
