Mount Calvary Baptist Church will be installing a new pastor Friday following the departure of the Rev. Mark Lewis.

The Rev. TJ Andrus, who has served as interim pastor for several months, will be installed during a ceremony that starts at 7 p.m.

Andrus is a Crowley native who has served as a pastor for Greater New Hope Church in Baldwin since 2019 in addition to taking over interm duties following Lewis’ departure from Mount Calvary.

“Both churchs have really been a great experience, they’ve both given me an opportunity to share a gift with the world and the resources to develop into a leader,” Andrus said in April.

Lewis, who left his position at the church after becoming the head pastor for Lily Grove Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, will be serving as a guest speaker for the event.
