Bristol Church of the Nazarene

Welcome - Pastor - Talk - Ministry - Events -


Pastor Anthony E. Carpenter “Tony”, along with his wife, Celeste our son, Isaiah (9) J. Carpenter, and Daughter Janai (5) Sarah Ann Carpenter are here as a result of a lot of prayers & Gods grace. Just to tell you a little about us, we are both graduates from Eastern University (’90 & ’92) & (graduate study ’98) and Seminary studies continue to date. At Eastern University we met as friends close to 14 years ago. Who knew? I am originally from Avon, New York and Celeste is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania (yes, where the Amish live). Our first Ministry continues to be

raising Isaiah, whom we adopted 9 years ago, and Janai whom we adopted 3 years ago. When God made it clear that we were to be in Ministry together in 1994 it took the form of 5 years of in-home Bible Fellowship, 4 years of church planting, youth program development and Associate Pastoral leadership as well as Worship Ministries. The emphasis of how God tends to use us in restoring relationships building an understanding of Gods teaching & principles, and how to actively apply them to our daily lives. We desire to be in partnership with area churches & families. We look forward to seeing you & your families as we grow in understanding of what life is to be & who we are to be in life.
