Lee Lennox
Lead Pastor
Dr. Lee Lennox serves as Pastor of First Baptist Church of Reed City, where his heart is to shepherd God’s people with compassion, biblical clarity, and a deep confidence in the transforming power of the gospel. Lee came to know Christ in 2005 at a Harvest Fest outreach event in Flushing, Michigan — a moment that changed the entire direction of his life and planted in him a desire to help others experience the same freedom and hope found in Jesus.
God later called Lee into ministry, leading him first to serve as a youth pastor in Wisconsin, where he grew in his passion for discipleship, mentoring, and walking with people through real-life struggles. In 2019, Lee and his wife, Melissa, along with their eight children, joyfully moved to Reed City to serve the church and community. Their family is grateful for every opportunity to open their home, build meaningful relationships, and share in the work the Lord is doing.
Lee holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in Bible from Maranatha Baptist University and Maranatha Baptist Seminary. In 2024, Lee became a certified biblical counselor through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. Most recently, he earned his Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) from Bob Jones Seminary, further strengthening his love for pastoral ministry, expository preaching, and helping believers grow in Christlikeness.
Whether in the pulpit, over coffee, or alongside those seeking spiritual growth, Lee’s ministry is shaped by the conviction that God’s Word truly brings lasting freedom. He counts it a privilege to walk with people as God restores brokenness, builds hope, and transforms lives through His grace.
