ALABAMA CRENSHAW ASSOCIATION
Parker Bowen says God brought a lot of change to his life in 1976 — he married his wife, Tanja, and the week they returned from their honeymoon, he got a call to serve as pastor of his first church.
Fast forward to 2021, and he’s had a long and fruitful ministry serving as a bivocational pastor of Alabama Baptist churches. He had served 20 years as pastor of Highland Home Baptist Church before he recently retired, and for 23 years before that, he led Bradleyton Baptist Church, Grady.
Getting to know those congregations and the others he served before them was a “privilege,” he said.
Bowen plans to stay at Highland Home Baptist as an associate pastor, filling in for new pastor Jeremy Hendrick, whose civil service job takes him away periodically. He said Hendrick is “outstanding” and the church is “like family,” so he’s looking forward to being “one of many active men in the church” in the years to come.
