I’m Danny Pettus, the minister at Loretto. I invite you to come participate with us as we worship the God of heaven. Study his word with us in our Bible classes. Enjoy the warm and rewarding fellowship with the members. I have been blessed to be a part of this church family and I believe you will be too.
As for me, I was born in Alabama and grew up in the small community of Green Hill near Killen. I married Shelly Tucker on June 14, 1972. We have two children; a daughter and a son. We have three grandchildren.
I started preaching in June 1973 in North Vernon Indiana and attended Heritage Christian University from 1976-1980 where I obtained a BA degree in Bible. I preached full time in Calhoun City Mississippi, Oakman Alabama and Eva Alabama for a combined total of 19 years. I started working with my wonderful church family at Loretto in January of 1999.
Meet with us and you will hear me preach the truth with love in my heart. My purpose is to help everyone get to heaven. Therefore I strive to preach the truth, not leaving anything out and not adding anything to it. I have a deep respect for the word of God.
You will hear me talk about his love and grace. I preach about the love of God and also the wrath of God. When he calls something a sin, I preach against it. I also preach the good works he has given us to do.
Come and you will hear the doctrine of Christ, not the opinions of men. I want to take you back to plain Bible based teaching and preaching. I want you to have heaven as your home. Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32).
