Rev. Malcolm A. Eatmon

Born September 24, 1986, Rev. Eatmon heard the call to preach at a young age. He was licensed to preach the Gospel on Sunday, June 6, 2004 — one week following his high school graduation — and received ordination certification through the Wilson Missionary Baptist Association, Wilson, NC, in December 2007.

Prior to pastoring, he served in the local missionary union of the Wilson Association as President of the Youth Department, and as Past President of the State Youth Department of the Woman's Baptist Home & Foreign Missionary Convention of NC — Auxiliary to the General Baptist State Convention of NC. One of his greatest delights was serving as Youth Minister of Vaughn's Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Elm City, NC, for 4½ years; the relationships built there have lasted well into those young people's adult lives.

At age 23, Rev. Eatmon became Co-Pastor — alongside his home church pastor, Bishop Lynwood E. Batts — of Arc of Faith Church, Raleigh, NC. After one year as Co-Pastor, he became the sole Pastor in April 2011, just four months before the birth of his first child. The congregation blessed numerous souls through community outreach, marriage seminars and retreats, and small-group Bible study. Following God's leading, he completed his assignment at Arc of Faith in December 2016.
