Church Staff   We are blessed at Hunton Baptist Church with a fine staff of dedicated and talented individuals. HBC is the "lighthouse on the corner of Greenwood Road and Old Washington Highway," and these enthusiastic Christians, along with our many other volunteers, make the light shine!       Dr. Jeff Johnson Senior Pastor Tel: 804-908-2730 Email: revjjj@hotmail.com Dr. Johnson came to Hunton Baptist Church to serve as senior pastor in July, 2002.

He encouraged the church to add a contemporary early morning worship service, which continues to meet the needs of those who attend.  In addition to orchestrating two Sunday morning services, Dr. Johnson leads an adult study on Sunday nights. During the week, much of Dr. Johnson's time is spent caring for the needs of his flock through pastoral care visits.   Phillip Barton Associate Pastor/Minister of Education Tel: 804-439-0137 Email: phil@huntonbc.org Phillip began Associate Pastor duties in May 2004.
