ABOUT US

Barbecue Presbyterian Church is a community of people seeking together to be the best disciples of Jesus Christ that we can be. Founded in 1758, the church celebrates its meaningful heritage even as we seek fresh opportunities
to embody love for God and our neighbors. At Barbecue, unconditional love abounds as we worship, learn, reach out to the community and enjoy fellowship together. If you are looking for a place to belong and grow in your faith, we hope you’ll join us soon!

PASTOR

My name is Bobby Lee Snell III (although I am known by all as Chance) and I am from Staunton Virginia and was born in 1993. I recently graduated from The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary in May 2024. I am invested in pastoral care and missions, particularly focusing on how these overlap with community formation. I will look to find ministry work that allows me to focus on those vocations in all aspects of my life. I have attended Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church for all of my life. I was baptized in that church as a child and I was confirmed in that church when I was 13. As an adult, I was a youth advisor and was also a deacon. After graduating from high school, I attended Blue Ridge Community College and completed my Associate’s Degree in Administration of Justice. After finishing my Youth Adult Volunteer year I began attending the University of Dubuque to finish my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in May of 2020 and then immediately started seminary the following Fall. While at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary I have done graduate work with campus ministry, teaching college students, completing research studies, facilitating seminary worship services, and leading community formation among the seminary student body. I also did an internship with my home church Tinkling Spring and was able to learn about youth ministry and talked with pastors about the effects of COVID on their congregations. In the summer of 2023 and 2024, I worked on Ministry Team at Montreat Conference Center.

PIANIST

Matthew Bailey, was born and raised in Anson County, NC started piano lessons at age 5. He is a graduate of Pfeiffer University with a BA in Elementary Education and a Music minor. He has served as a church musician for Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church, Music Director for Brown Creek Baptist Church, North Wadesboro Baptist Church, and Clerical Assistant and Substitute musician for Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church in Southern Pines. He enjoys teaching school and has taught 5th grade Math, 3rd Grade Math and science, and currently teaches Music at the Academy of Moore County. He also teaches private piano lessons to his students in Moore County. He is a resident of Pinebluff, NC and enjoys spending time with his dachshund, Hoss.

CHOIR DIRECTOR

Choir Director - Jeanne Anderson

I grew up in the Olivia Presbyterian Church. During those years it was yoked with Barbecue. The youth groups met together so I know many of you or your families. I graduated with undergraduate and masters music education degrees from UNC-G. I have taught music in the counties of Davie, Rowan/Salisbury, Harnett and Lee.

It is a blessing to be here - not only as a choir director/musician - also as a part of this community of believers. I will work diligently with the choir. I will work to build a handbell choir. I will seek to provide opportunities for the youth to participate and lead in worship.

It is my hope that Barbecue Presbyterian Church is the church God wants us to be. Let's get excited and do it together as we keep inviting former attendees and members back and share our church with "new" people.
