hayden carter - student pastor

Hayden serves as the Student Pastor and is passionate about investing in the next generation. Born and raised in Louisiana, he answered God’s call to ministry at the age of 18 and has been faithfully serving in student ministry for over eight years.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry from Leavell College and a Master of Divinity in Christian Education with a specialization in Youth Ministry from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Hayden has a deep love for mentoring students and walking alongside them as they discover their identity in Christ. He thrives on building relationships, sharing life, and helping students grow in their faith.

Outside of ministry, Hayden enjoys trying new foods, making new friends, and (admittedly) has a bit of a caffeine addiction. He is married to his amazing wife, Kristen, and together they are raising their son, Beau.
