Dr. A.T. Stewart
Pastor

 
         
 

Dr. A.T. Stewart has been in the ministry for over 30 years. He graduated from Belhaven College in Jackson, MS in 1973 with a B.A. in Bible. He continued his education at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY where he earned his Master of Divinity degree in 1975 and his doctorate in Expository Preaching in 2006. His theological beliefs have been shaped by his convictions of the inerrancy of Scripture and the truthfulness of the Doctrines of Grace.

Since his graduation from seminary, Dr. Stewart has served churches in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. He has been pastor of Westside for 14 years.

Pastor A.T. is deeply committed to the family. He has been married 34 years to Teri and they have six children. A major part of his ministry is devoted to helping build strong families on the Word of God. He has led Family Enrichment Conferences in Europe, the Caribbean, and in the southeastern United States.

Pastor A.T. is also deeply committed to Biblical preaching. He is a gifted preacher and teacher of God's Word. God has gifted him with the ability to make the Word of God clear and relevant to the average person. He seeks to explain God's Word in a way that the voice of God is heard, the glory of God is seen, and the will of God is obeyed.

Not only is Dr. Stewart committed to the preaching of the Bible, but he is also committed to shepherding the flock of God at Westside. His heart is to see people grow into Christian maturity. He ministers to individuals showing them what God desires from them as His children. He calls on believers to submit themselves to the authority of the Word of God. He believes as Christians obey the Word of God they will become emotionally and spiritually strengthened.
