Cody’s Biography:
My Grandparents led me to The Lord when I was 8 years old and continued to disciple me through preadolescence. When I was a freshman in high school I began attending Wilmont Place Baptist Church. The youth ministry strengthened and matured me substantially. Midway through high school, God began dealing with my heart in a very unique way, as I felt him calling me towards ministry as a profession and purpose. During the summer of 2004 amidst serving in youth ministry, God made it known to me without a doubt in a personal worship experience that Ministry was not only the duty of every Christian but to be my specific profession and life calling. The Lord has blessed me with an amazing wife who shares this same purpose level calling and passion for ministry. We have been blessed with great children along the journey and love being a ministry family.
Tawnee and I have since been blessed to simultaneously serve the Lord’s church in student ministry while being mentored by exceptional pastors along the way. This has brought our family to a unique present position, as fifteen years of successful student ministry have launched us toward a passion for all ages. The idea of focusing on a broader age range is both new and exciting, as the Lord has been preparing us for such a time as this. The valuable lessons learned, particularly in my time at First Baptist Church in Hinton, have prepared me and my family for this next season of service to God’s church.
The core of my being finds a proud Southern Baptist. I have been raised, loved, and invested in by a great denomination through many seasons of life. My student ministry experience and giftedness has focused on revitalizing stagnant youth group communities by connecting and recalibrating a great history of tradition with the biblical church model. It is my deep desire to be used by God to now inject His energy into the revival of His beloved community church as an all ages united family. My unique call is to lead a fellowship of great heritage into her future seasons of biblical worship, discipleship, evangelism, ministry, and fellowship.
It is the Howard family prayer to be vessels used by God almighty to serve, love, build, equip, and lead His church as He directs in His Holy Word. For the glory of God and His gospel we pray as Ephesians 4:11-13 states, “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
