Lenae Bell has been a member at Pleasant Grove since 2011 and joined the staff as Director of Children’s Ministries in January of 2020. Graduating from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in Elementary Education, teaching in a Christian school for seven years, and being heavily involved in children’s ministry for many years has prepared her for the role in which God has placed her.

Her mission is to capture the hearts of children for the Lord and help them to desire and develop a personal relationship with Him. She firmly believes that it is the partnership  with parents and families that helps children grow to their full potential.  

Lenae is the wife of David Bell and the mother to five pretty awesome children, Emma, Carson, Lila, Clark, and Julia.

Logan Lamb - Youth Pastor

 

Logan Lamb has been on the Pleasant Grove team since April 2021. Logan has had 8 years of experience as a Youth Pastor and has loved every minute of it. Logan has a passion for doing life with teenagers and helping them realize their true potential as Christ followers.

He’s also an absolute sniper from the 3 point line and with a nerf gun! Logan has made plenty of mistakes and will continue to do so, but he loves Jesus with everything he has and wants nothing more than to see people come to the Lord. Logan graduated from Wayland Baptist University with a Bachelors in Christian Studies in Youth Ministry. 

 

He has been married to his wife Blair for 6 years now and they have a 3 year old son named Theodore. They also have another baby boy on the way! Blair also has a degree in Youth Ministry and together they are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to loving others and building relationships with teenagers. They are so excited to have found a home at Pleasant Grove Baptist!
