   Dr. Craig Hudgins was called to serve as the pastor of West End Baptist Church in February 2019. With 25 years of ministry experience, he has served as a Youth Pastor, Minister of Music, and Associate Pastor. Dr. Hudgins holds a Bachelor's Degree from New England Theological Seminary, a Master's Degree from Louisiana Baptist University, and a Doctorate from Louisiana Baptist University.

  He and his wife, Sandy, have two children: their son, Stephen, who went to be with the Lord in October of 2018, and their daughter, Elizabeth, who serves alongside her husband, Ben Landers, at First Baptist Church in Rincon, GA.
