Our Pastors

DOCTOR CODY WATSON AND FAMILY

I was called to serve here at Lake Mystic Baptist Church in June of 2020, and I am so excited about what God is doing here. My passion is to see our Church multiplying disciples from our home to the nations by seeing our families strengthened to make disciples at home and serve on the mission field in our community and to the ends of the earth.

I graduated from the Baptist University of Florida with a Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies, and received my Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry Degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.  I have served in churches both in the Panhandle and in Lower Alabama. I am married to Erin Watson, who also graduated from the Baptist University of Florida with her Bachelor's in Christian Counseling. Erin currently serves as a full-time mom to our sons Judah,Knox and Ransom.

PASTOR DANE DILLAHUNTY AND FAMILY

I was called to serve here at Lake Mystic Baptist Church in April of 2021 as the Associate Pastor of Families and Worship, serving in youth and music ministries. I am thrilled by the opportunity to help disciple middle and high school students through youth ministry, as well as the entire church body through Biblical song.

I graduated from Toccoa Falls College in Northeast Georgia with a Bachelor’s in Pastoral Ministries and Music in April last year, and I started work on a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in August. I am married to Janna Dillahunty, who also studied at Toccoa Falls College, and recently graduated from the Baptist University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Music Education. Now, Janna teaches elementary music at Fort Braden School. We are excited to for all the opportunities for ministry that are here in Liberty County!
