Prattmont Baptist welcomes new pastor of men’s ministry

Jay Penton is the new pastor of men’s ministry at Prattmont Baptist Church, Prattville. He previously served as minister of men at Boones Chapel Baptist Church, Prattville, for over 10 years where he was licensed and ordained into the ministry.

He has served as the men’s ministry coordinator of Autauga Baptist Association since 2021.

Penton served as a military police officer on active duty in the U.S. Army for seven years and in the National Guard for 15 years.

He was an Alabama State Trooper for over 24 years and retired two years ago to serve in full-time ministry.

Penton is the outreach director for “Men in the Arena,” a nonprofit Christian ministry focused on equipping men to honor God in their family, church and community.

He also assists churches in starting up ministry programs for men. He and his wife, Dana, have two adult children.
