Pastor Otha Everett is a spirit-filled man of God who has always had a deep love and sense of compassion for others. Pastor Everett has wholeheartedly embraced family as his first ministry. Otha is the second of four children born to proud parents, Otha Lee and Mary Ann Everett. Being raised and supported in a God-fearing home, Otha was given a great foundation that allowed him to seek the same in his adulthood. On October 4th, 1997, Otha wed Tina Rouse, and the two have established their own
love-filled home where God is the head. To this union, God has blessed them with two sons, Keshawn Lenard and Keenen Matthew.


Although best known for his gift of preaching, he also has a background in the area of music in which he plays the drums and loves to sing God's praises. Pastor Everett knew there was a calling upon his life that he could not ignore. Reverend Everett accepted his calling to preach the Gospel. He was ordained at the Beulah Baptist Church under the tutelage of his mentor, pastor, and grandfather, the late Rev. Matthew Brown. He has served on the ministerial staff as an Associate Minister and Youth Minister at Beulah Baptist Church, Macon. Pastor Everett was later called to serve as the Assistant Pastor of Laurens Hill Baptist Church, Dudley.

In 2003, Rev. Everett was asked to serve as the Pastor of White Springs Baptist Church in Lizella, carrying out all of the duties and responsibilities of Gods called Shepherd. He served faithfully as their pastor for five years. In 2008, the Greater Union Baptist Church family confirmed call’s divine appointment and called Reverend Everett as their next Visionary Leader. Pastor Everett came with a sincere desire to administer to the church according to the Word of God as he preached and taught the Gospel. During his 15 years of service at Greater Union, church membership has grown and lives have been changed. More than 15 ministries have been established and/or reorganized under his spiritual guidance. Also he was instrumental, along with guidance from God, the church moved from downtown Perry and a new edifice was built on Gray Road in Perry.


Pastor Everett’s emphasis on the need for spiritual growth and development through the teaching of God’s Word has resulted in the development of “Praise and Word” night, 4th Sunday Baptist Training Union, increased attendance at Bible Study and Sunday School. So much so, that a separate session has been established for our teens and another for our youth in Bible Study. Children’s Church has been expanded to accommodate our youth.
