Sonny Moore entered the ministry in 1966 with two simple goals: to preach the Word and love the people. Five civilian churches, 10 Army chapels and 49 years later, Moore has retired from full-time ministry.
At the age of 17, Moore felt God move in him at a revival meeting. That night he knew that gospel ministry “was the call of God on my life. I felt it was God’s purpose for me.”
Moore received his education from Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi; New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary; Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; and The Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He also was awarded a doctor of humane letters degree from Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania.
Moore most recently served as pastor of First Baptist Church, Enterprise, and has served as pastor of churches in Mississippi. He was an Army chaplain at various posts including Fort Rucker.
Moore and his wife, Celia, will remain residents of Enterprise where he will be available for pulpit supply. The couple has three children and seven grandchildren.
