Anthony Medlock
Pastor
Rev. Anthony R. Medlock, Pastor
Pastor Anthony R. Medlock has a long distinguished record of Kingdom service in the Body of Christ. He has been called and appointed to the Office of Pastor of New Home Baptist Church in Landover, Maryland.
Pastor Medlock is an expository preacher/teacher, who is present with people. He is Kingdom driven and provides steady, God inspired, transformational leadership. He is a man of God whose character and integrity is known and trusted by leadership, the Christian community, and the community at large.
The Spirit of the Lord has anointed Pastor Medlock to minister through transparency, with a redemptive message of repentance and reconciliation.
Preceding his call to Pastor New Home, he faithfully served under the leadership of Pastor Bobby D. Hicks for several generations. He served as Church School Superintendent, Trustee, and Ordained Deacon. As a son of the church, he was both licensed and ordained in 1999 to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Medlock was born in Brooklyn, New York. He has studied at Washington Bible College. He received Certification in Creation Therapy Counseling at Sarasota Academy of Christian Counseling, and Certification in teaching from Evangelical Training Association in 2001.
His pastoral journey began in 2006, when he was installed as the Founding Pastor of Resurrection Life Community Church (RLCC), in Charlotte, NC. He served as Pastor until 2022, and now serves as their Overseer.
In January 2021, following God’s call, he returned to his home church and began cultivating the ground where he would succeed his predecessor, Pastor Hicks. He was installed as the fifth Pastor of New Home Baptist Church on June 12, 2022.
God has blessed him with a loving, and supportive wife for nearly forty years. She is anointed to preach the Word of God, and she graciously walks alongside him in this Kingdom assignment. They have been blessed with four amazing adult children, four bonus children, and five grandchildren. They each embrace their unique calling and gifting to serve the Lord with gladness, urgency, and excellence.
Pastor Medlock’s passion, prayers, and most pressing assignment is to Ready A People for the His Return.
