South Banks Community Church Leadership

South Banks Community Church is blessed to have a leadership team who are dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will. Following are some brief bio's of our leadership team and their qualifications for ministry.

Dennis Evans

Lead Pastor

Pastor Evans serves as the Lead Pastor of South Banks Community Church. Ministering full-time for over 40 years, Dennis has led youth, music, and creative arts ministries across various churches in North Carolina, Virginia, and Alabama before coming back to his hometown of Morehead City in 1999. In 2005, circumstances brought it about for South Banks to be planted under Pastor Dennis' vision, and God has proven his faithfulness again and again ever since.
 
Dennis received his B.A. in Christian Ministries from Emmanuel College in 1980 and his M.A. in Film and Television Management and Production from Regent University in 1992. He has been married to wife, Lydia, for nearly 40 years, with whom he raised a now-grown son and daughter. If you can't get hold of him, he's likely kayaking into the bay, riding his bicycle, or listening to worship music.
