Our Leadership
Tim Beard
Pastor
I have served as pastor of White Hall Baptist Church since January of 2001. My wife, Stephanie, and I moved to the Richmond area from St. Louis, Missouri. We are originally from Illinois. It has been a rewarding and enriching experience to serve the Lord with this great church. It is a pleasure to preach God’s Word to people who enjoy hearing and learning more about the great doctrinal truths contained in Scripture. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 2:15:
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Our desire at White Hall Baptist Church is to be a people of the Word and to be God-centered and Word-centered in our approach to ministry and worship. It is truly a blessing to serve in this community with such wonderful church members, godly deacons, and a great staff.
Victoriously His,
Pastor Tim Beard

Senior Adult Visitation Pastor
I was called into the ministry on December 8, 1966, and have served for 57 years. During that time, I was on staff at a church in Miami, FL, and planted a church in Framingham, MA. I have also served as pastor of churches in Indiana and Kentucky.
In the Tates Creek Baptist Association, I have served as Brotherhood Director, Church Training Director, Evangelism Chairman, Moderator, Missions Director and Partnership Missions Coordinator. I led the association in partnerships in Africa, Panama, and a Home Mission Partnership with Treasurer State Baptist Association in Montana. I participated in disaster relief efforts in Illinois, North Carolina, and Mississippi.
After my retirement in December 2012, Jeanie and I found a home at White Hall Baptist Church. We are blessed by the fellowship of God’s people and the ministry of our Pastor, Bro. Tim Beard. In our church I serve as Senior Adult Visitation Pastor which involves visiting our senior adult shut-ins on a regular basis.
My life verse is found in Joshua 1:8-9: “8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” KJV
In Christ,
Vincent Carman
