Interim Pastor/Worship: Brett W. Marlowe

Brett grew up in a Christian home where he always heard about Jesus. At the age of 12, he recognized his need for salvation and surrendered his heart to the Lord at a youth revival in Marietta, GA. While he understood the message of salvation, he did not understand discipleship and God's desire for him to grow spiritually. It was not until his late teenage years that he began to grow in his walk with the Lord. God has graciously given him many different opportunities including: traveling for 9 years as a guitarist of a Christian band; working for 6 years in computer tech support at the South Carolina Baptist Convention; participating on mission trips to five continents; and serving for 6 years as a Student Minister in Columbia, SC. He earned a BA degree from the University of South Carolina. Brett followed God's leading to serve in full-time ministry while on a mission trip to Romania in 1998. He is pursuing his Masters of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and serving as Interim Pastor/Worship at Gilbert Street Baptist Church. He enjoys music, missions, reading, golf, college football (Go Gamecocks!), hunting, and spending time with family.
