Burlington First Church of the Nazarene
Pastor Dale Bailey has been working in the ministry since 1985 when he began as an associate in the Bible Missionary Church in Washington state. He has been pastoring in the Church of the Nazarene since 1996 when he took the church in Cleveland, Mississippi.
He is a second generation pastor and says that the ministry has been a part of his life since birth because he was brought up in a parsonage family. He received his call to preach at the age of 10. He say, "After 5 years of part-time ministry and 14 years of full time, I can testify to God's power, direction and faithfulness. My heart is fully surrendered to God's will for my life. It is my passion to obey His call, preach the Word, win souls for Jesus and become more like Him."
He and his wife, Robin, have three children of their own: Ashley, a college student; Trent, a high schooler; and Brett, who is in grade school.
Pastor Sorsenginh birthed the Laotian congregation at Burlington First in 1997 after moving to the area from California where he also pastored. Lovencheau is married to Botham and they have one son, three daughters and many wonderful grandchildren. Pastor Sorsenginh is a bi-vocational pastor with a true love for his native countrymen who need to discover Jesus and the freedom only He can give.
