Who We Are
Who We Are
Leesville Baptist Church is a thriving country church with vibrant worship, Bible-based expository preaching, a large youth and children’s ministry, and active community outreach.
We believe that growth happens when we do life together.
At Leesville, we do life together in multiple different ways. Corporately, we meet on Sunday mornings to study God’s Word and worship. Throughout the week, we have several Family Groups that meet for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. Additionally, we have been blessed with a large and lively youth ministry, with youth events taking place on both Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. Through these discipleship and accountability relationships, we equip and encourage one another to grow in our personal faith and become witnesses of that faith in our community and beyond.

Brena Burgan
CHILDREN & YOUTH
Brena Burgan began serving as Children’s Minister at LBC in May 2014, taking on the additional role of Youth Minister 2 years later. Brena holds a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture from Stephen F. Austin (2001), and a Master of Science in Horticulture (2002) from Texas A&M (Whoop!). She married the love of her life and best friend, Kevin, in 2008. They are raising two Jesus-loving boys on a ranch north of Clarksville, and get to live just one mile from her parents! Brena loves to do anything if family and friends are involved, but especially enjoys reading, cooking, working cows, gardening, fishing, and riding around the ranch on her mule. Her favorite verse is James 1:2-4, and she often reminds others that you can’t skip past that ‘Consider it pure joy’ part!
