Leading the Way
Hunter Long has served as the Student Pastor at First Baptist Powell since 2019. He holds a BA in Preaching and Youth Ministry from Johnson University and is a soon-to-be graduate of Southern Seminary with his Master of Divinity.
Hunter is married to his wife Leah and together they have two children, Amelia James and Charlotte Rae.
Benjamin and Heidi Birdsong began working together in ministry in 2010. They were married in 2013 and began working at First Baptist Church of Powell in the summer of 2024. Working with a full-time music ministry, they’ve had the opportunity to share the stage with groups like The Newsboys, Bethel Worship, Big Daddy Weave, Zach Williams, Cochren and Co., and Jonathan Cain of Journey. After their group disbanded, Benjamin and Heidi continued to minister with local Ministries Like Street Hope, TN and Men of Valor in Knoxville. Benjamin and Heidi have had the joy of leading various seminars on worship arts and dating, marriage, and relationships from a biblical perspective. In their free time, they enjoy traveling, theme, parks, hiking, kayaking, retro video games, and football (UT and Baltimore Ravens!)
Benjamin and Heidi will be leading worship, as well as teaching a workshop.
