Rev. Trey Henry is following in the footsteps of his father as the new minister of the Yazoo City Church of Christ.
He and his family joined the Yazoo church over a month ago, and he is very excited about bringing his perspective to the congregation and the community.
“My primary hopes are to help keep the good news of Jesus’ loving sacrifice central to the life of the church and to share that good news,” Henry said.
Before arriving in Yazoo City, Henry worked with the Church of Christ in the Army town of Leesville, La., which is located near Fort Polk. However, the Henry family had made many travels around the world with their missionary work prior to their arrival in Louisiana.
