Shane Lawson

Pastor/Founder

Pastor Shane and his wife, Kelly have been married twenty-six years. Born and raised in Bradley County, Shane is licensed and ordained to the work of the Gospel ministry and has been serving as a Pastor for twenty-six years.

Shane is the Senior Pastor at Eastview Baptist Church. Shane is a graduate of Liberty University. Hear his heart: "I have a passion to teach God's word to adults and children guiding them into a relationship with Jesus Christ, encouraging them in their spiritual growth, and equipping them to become fully devoted followers of Christ who impacts their community for Christ. I have learned through the trials of life, as Paul writes in Philippians 4:11 'in whatever state I am to be content' because I agree with Paul when he says in Philippians 1:21 'For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.' It is a privilege to serve in the ministry and see people believe in Christ being built up in their faith, bonding with other believers, breaking forth in passionate service so their lives will continually bring forth glory in God's name."

Shane has served as a church-planter and in church revitalization and has a heart specifically for missions and discipleship. He has served on multiple boards and organizations within the local community. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ocoee Region. Shane has served on the Historical Committee for the Tennessee Baptist Convention. 

Shane is ultra-conservative and believes that our nation and most American churches are living in compromise. He is currently writing a book, “Staring in the Face of Comprise.” This book aims to expose the subtle yet dangerous compromises that have taken root in the lives of many believers. With clarity and conviction, it reveals how countless Christians remain unaware that they are drifting from God’s truth. It is Pastor Shane’s earnest prayer that these pages will awaken the conscience, challenge the heart, and inspire those who desire to live by God’s standards to stand unwavering in the midst of perilous times.
