Since the inception of Mount Gilead Baptist Church 119 years ago, we have been led by six dynamic pastors. Reverend Thomas Taylor, 1907-1923; Reverend William L. Turley, 1923-1979, Reverend William Revely, Jr., 1979-1989, Reverend Jeffrey Haggray, 1992-1999 and Rev. Dr. Leroy Gilbert, 2002-2021. In the summer of 1989 we were blessed with the spiritual guidance of Reverend Sloan Hodges, Interim Pastor, who served for a short time until God called him home. As Jesus promised in His word "never(Submitted on July 11, 2026, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)to leave us alone", He led us to secure the services of Reverend H. Wesley Wiley as Interim Pastor from 1989-1992. During 1999-2001, Mount Gilead received spiritual leadership from Associate Minister Reverend Patricia McCullum and Interim Pastor James T. Wright. Mount Gilead Baptist Church received spiritual leadership from Assistant Pastor, Dr. Patricia A. McCullum from December 2021 to December 2024.
Our Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Carey E. Pointer III was installed as the sixth pastor of our church the weekend of March 14, 2025.
