“Public servants hold a critical role in leading and guiding communities, yet they often face immense challenges and pressures,” Pastor Hampton said. “I believe that by ministering to them, I can offer the hope, encouragement, and guidance found in God’s Word to help them navigate their responsibilities with integrity and wisdom.”

As Southeast regional director, Pastor Hampton is responsible for growing LGM to city and county office holders in neighborhoods in the states of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida.

“My heart is to see public servants grow in their faith, find strength in their relationship with Christ, and let biblical principles shape their decisions and actions,” he said. “It is a privilege to come alongside them, support their spiritual journey, and contribute to a more Christ-centered leadership in our nation.”
