Interim Pastor - Jamie Lambert
Jamie was born and raised in the very small, rural town of Appalachia, VA.
He is proud of his “upbringing” and he will always remember the morals his parents instilled in him growing up. He graduated from Appalachia High School 7th in his class (there were only 34 total students in his graduating class).
Yes this was a public school.
After graduating from high school in 1996 he attended what he calls “God’s University” The University of Tennessee. During his sophomore year he came face to face with the Almighty God and realized his need of a Savior. God has been gracious throughout his entire Christian walk to have men and women pour into his life from the very beginning of his spiritual birth, February 1, 1998.
He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2000.
Jamie worked for a Christian camp in Conyers, GA. He was employed by Camp Westminster for a little over 2 years. It was during that time that Jamie felt the call into local church ministry. In April 2003, Jamie became the Director of Student Ministries here at Covenant Presbyterian Church. At Covenant he was given permission to pursue his desires to grow in his theological training. He was part of the inaugural class of Metro Atlanta Seminary in November of 2010.
Covenant issued a call to Jamie as the Associate Pastor and Minister of Youth in November 2010. He was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in American in February 2011. The Lord has saw fit to call Jamie to be the Interim Pastor of Covenant during this season of the church's life.
Jamie was married to his beautiful wife Bethany, November 18, 2006.

Youth & Children's Director - John Sutton
John was born outside of Chicago, IL and raised in Gainesville, GA by his loving and supportive Mom and Dad along with his younger sister.
John has always been a public school kid. He ran Cross Country, played Tennis, and played in the Band in High School.
Most significantly, John became a Christian in High School the summer before his senior year. He was introduced to Jesus and His gospel by his friend Brian, who then discipled him. John and Brian started a Bible study for their high school, which served to confirm John’s desire to be in ministry.
He went to Young Harris College where he met the woman who would be his wife (when she finally came around after her repeated rejections). John graduated from YHC (a two-year school then) and went to Georgia College & State
University in Milledgeville. He graduated in 2009 and married Robyn the same summer. Their son Landon was born January 2012.
John served as Youth & Children’s Director for 3 years at Lake Oconee PCA in Eatonton, GA.
John enjoys listening to new music, the outdoors, playing guitar, reading, and hanging out with Robyn and friends. John also plans to begin seminary in 2012.
