Our Pastor
Pastor Jeremy Wilson & Family
At eight years of age, Brother Jeremy trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. By God’s Grace, he was raised in a Christian home and as a junior in high school surrendered to the call to preach and serve the Lord in full-time ministry. Knowing God’s desire for his life, he enrolled in a large Bible College but while preparing to attend this college, God intervened and redirected his training. It was through a Chalk Drawing Training Course that God allowed his path to cross with another pastor and through this man, God opened his eyes and heart to the doctrine of the Preservation of the Scriptures. This redirected his goals. Brother Jeremy subsequently enrolled in Blue Ridge Bible Institute of Valdese, North Carolina and graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity in 2001.
After serving as Associate Pastor for several years in an Independent Baptist Church in Louisiana, he felt God’s leading to start a local Bible Believing Baptist work in the Picayune area.
Brother Jeremy and his wife Jamey have four boys. His favorite scripture verse is II Timothy 2:15: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Our History
In May of 2007, the first church service of Heritage Baptist Church was held in the second floor of the old Harrison Finance location (corner of Hwy 11 and E. Canal Street). After several rental locations as the church grew the Lord began working details to put HBC in its own place!
