Youth Pastor William Castleberry
William Castleberry was invited by a friend to church in 1996.Later that year William realized his need of a Savior and asked Jesus into his heart.He became very involved in youth activities at Briensburg Baptist Church and has been able to be a part of many different ministries that involve youth and kids. While in college he never felt comfortable with the career path he had chosen in engineering and it was then that he realized it wasn’t his will that mattered, it was God’s will that would bring him peace in his life. Taking a leap of faith, William pursued a Bachelors of Science in Applied Psychology and Counseling from Mid-Continent College in Mayfield, KY.He finished this program and graduated cum laude in 2003. In June of 2002 William was called to be youth director of New Zion Baptist Church and served faithfully there until July of 2009. William married Laura on May 29th 2004 and they have one child born March 2009.July 2009 William was asked to join Coldwater United Methodist Church as their student pastor where the adventure is continuing.
