New Pastor at McVay Nazarene

McVay Nazarene Church would like to welcome and introduce our new pastor, Bro. Gary Dupuy.

Bro. Gary grew up in Avoyelles Parish in the small community of Dupont. He has been married to his wife, Bobbie, for 55 years. They have two children, a son and a daughter, and they are blessed with three grandchildren and four great grandchildren, who they cherish dearly.

They had a grandson who was called home by the Lord at a young age and way too soon but they take comfort in knowing they will be reunited with him one day. Bro. Gary and Mrs. Bobbie are blessed to have their family live near them in Sabine Parish.

Bro. Gary has been a pastor for 59 years and has pastored churches in Louisiana and Mississippi. He began his work for the Lord when he was 15 years old! He loves the Lord and loves to see churches grow. In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking and spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Bro. Gary, along with McVay Church, would love for you to come meet us, fellowship, worship and grow with us. Our doors are always open!

The church is located on Valentine Road off of Hwy 773 in the Belah community. Sunday School is at 10:00 a.m., with worship service at 11:00 a.m.
