Pastor Tommy Puryear and wife, Wanda

My Purpose in life: As a Christian is to “Share the Light, Love, and Life of Jesus.” It is with great joy that I do this through preaching, teaching, and discipling people with the talents and gifts the Lord has given to me! 

My Favorite Thing About Tar Heel Baptist Church Is: the People. They are wonderful examples of what it is to be followers of Christ. 

When I’m Not Working:
I enjoy working with wood. I also like to fish and hunt, and I love spending time with my family! 


One Thing Most People Don’t Know About Me Is: Wanda and I got married right out of High School; her mother had to sign for her to marry because she was still 17. She is the only girl I ever dated.
