Pastor Search Updates

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5–6

 

"I know that you may be asking, well, where do we go from here? I have an answer for that. You will continue in the grace of God. The strength of this church is never rested in one man. It is always rested in the unchanging faithfulness of God.” – Buddy Gray

 

Hunter Street is not a building but of people.

We are a people who love God and others—and we are a church family that dearly loves our pastor, who has shepherded our congregation for almost 40 years. 

On Sunday, September 14, 2025, Pastor Buddy Gray announced that he would be stepping down from full-time pastoral ministry in the summer of 2026. Even though this is the closing of a chapter in the rich history of our church, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in the story of what God is doing in and through the people known as Hunter Street.

We celebrate the time Buddy has spent with us, and are excited to see what the future holds for Hunter Street as we continue to preach the Word, serve with love, take the gospel to the nations, and worship our faithful, sovereign God.

"And when I step aside, I want you to remember that the same God who has carried this church now for 119 years will still carry you by His grace and for His glory. I believe that the greatest days of the life of our church, the greatest days of Kingdom ministry, are just ahead of us. To Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever.” – Buddy Gray
