The Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green joyfully welcomes Rev. Patrick Lane as our next pastor.
Rev. Lane is a graduate of the University of Mississippi and has a Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary. For the past five years, Rev. Lane has faithfully served Mitchells Presbyterian Church in Virginia. He is known for his thoughtful leadership, deep faith, pastoral compassion, and strong commitment to worship, teaching, mission, and community engagement.
Patrick and his wife, Rev. Brittney Lane, are looking forward to becoming part of the Bowling Green community, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming them in the weeks ahead. We are filled with hope and excitement for this new chapter in the life of our church and for all that God has in store for our congregation.

DONATION REQUEST This year, we have another opportunity to travel to Montreat, a place where countless young people have discovered deeper faith, lifelong friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose. We are excited for our youth because they have the chance to grow, to listen, and to be part of something bigger than themselves.
To make this journey possible, I’m inviting you to partner with our youth by providing snacks for our travels. Your support—whether through prayer, encouragement, snacks, or a financial gift—helps open the door to an experience that shapes hearts and strengthens communities. If you feel led to contribute, please know that your generosity will make a real and lasting impact. Thank you for believing in our youth and in the power of what Montreat offers. All donations can be dropped off in the church office.
