In accordance with Presbytery guidelines, the call of our new pastor was approved and extended by the congregation today during a congregational meeting.
Paul and his wife Sarah will be relocating from Fargo, North Dakota, where he has been pastor/head of staff at First Presbyterian Church since 2013. Prior to his call there, Paul was Pastor/Head of Staff at Peace Presbyterian Church in Winterville, North Carolina for 17 years. His first call was as a solo pastor for First Presbyterian Church in McGehee, Arkansas.
The Langs are excited to be returning to the Carolinas, where they have strong ties. Paul grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, and Sarah is a native of Greenville, North Carolina. Both are graduates of Furman University, where they earned their undergraduate degrees in music. Paul earned his Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Columbia Theological Seminary. Sarah earned her Master's in music education/music therapy from East Carolina University. They have two sons, Daniel (26) and Ben (23).
