Author: Jason Lowe

I serve as the Associational Mission Strategist for the Pike Association of Southern Baptists, a network of 25 local churches in southeastern Kentucky. I also serve as the Executive Pastor of First Baptist Church in Pikeville, Kentucky. In my role with the Pike Association, I have served as interim pastor of five churches and consulted dozens of others during their search for a new pastor. I am a 2001 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University and earned my Master of Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2011. I have recently authored my first book, The Church During the Search: Honoring Christ While You Wait For Your Next Pastor. I also served as a contributor in The Baptist Association: Assisting Churches, Advancing the Gospel, edited by Ray Gentry. My wife, Brandi, and I live in Pikeville, KY, and we have two sons: Isaiah and Noah. You can reach me at www.JasonALowe.com.
