Ministry Team

Pastor & Staff

Nate Lehman

Lead Pastor

I am a husband and father of three. Erica and I have been married for twenty-one years. Erica is an educator in the public school system.
Talyn is our oldest. She is seventeen and looks forward to becoming a meteorologist.
Waylon is our middle child. He is eleven and loves the Miami Dolphins.
Cannon is seven, he is our youngest and proudly introduces himself as “cannonball”. Together we live the typical family life and are loving it!
I have served in a church of twenty members and one with thousands of members. Those experiences have given me a unique view of ministry and leadership. I believe everyone is redeemable through Jesus Christ.
I graduated from Valdosta State University and Asbury Seminary. 

Lisa Enfinger

Youth Director

Welcome! I am Lisa Enfinger the BFMC Youth Director.
I joined the group of volunteers that were working with the youth program in 2020 and became a part of the staff in 2021 after retiring from teaching 31 years.
 I previously worked with children and youth ministries at another church for 15 years and have always loved sharing God’s love with young people.
 I am married and have 2 wonderful children. In my spare time, I enjoy camping, riding bikes, boating and barefoot water skiing.

Patty Hamilton

Children's Director

I grew up in Bainbridge but moved away to attend Covenant College.
After graduating I settled in Chattanooga and taught middle school language arts for more than a decade. I earned my M.Ed and Ed.S degrees while teaching.
I met my husband, Daniel, and when he left the Army in 2019, we moved to Bainbridge with our sons, Henry and Charlie.
 I have loved being back in my hometown.
I now homeschool our boys and stay involved in the community by coordinating our local Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program and volunteering as a CASA. I also enjoy teaching a yoga class at the YMCA each week.
We have attended Bainbridge First Methodist for several years following our return to Bainbridge, and I came on staff in 2024.
I have loved being a part of the ministry team here and look forward to continuing to work with families through the children's ministry.

Ginger Johnson

Finance Secretary

My name is Ginger Johnson and I am the Financial Secretary.
I retired from Decatur County Schools after 38 years as a teacher and media specialist. I am married to Paul Johnson and we are members of Bainbridge First Methodist.
We have three sons, three daughters-in-law and 6 busy grandchildren.
 I love to sew, craft, read, and spend time with my grandchildren.

Ronda Warren

Church Secretary

Hello everyone! My name is Ronda (yes without the “h”) Warren and I am very excited to be the new Church Secretary for Bainbridge First Methodist Church!
 I look forward to meeting everyone and developing relationships, as I do my best to be a valuable new addition to the church family.
Not a totally new addition however, my family attended this church many years ago and I have lived in the area my entire life, other than the past few years which have been spent in the Cheaha Mountain area in mid-Alabama.
 When I have spare time, I enjoy cooking and gardening, as well as spending time with my kids, Abi and John Paul, and my two dogs, Murphy and Red.
Please come say hello anytime, I’m very excited to enter into this journey with you all.
