Andrew Heptinstall has served at Temple Baptist Church since 2015, originally joining the staff as Student Pastor. Prior to coming to Temple, Andrew and his family lived in Panama City, Florida, where they traded the Gulf Coast for the rolling hills of North Alabama.

Andrew has always had a heart and calling to serve as a Lead Pastor, and God has graciously fulfilled that calling through Temple Baptist Fairview. Today, he serves as the Pastor of the Fairview Campus and is excited to see how God will continue to work in and through the ministry there.

Andrew has been married to his wife, Tracey, since 2006, and together they are the proud parents of two children, Adison and Carter.

He holds a Bachelor of Ministry Studies from The Baptist College of Florida and brings more than two decades of experience in student ministry.

Outside of ministry, Andrew enjoys spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and relaxing in a hammock.

 Above all, he is passionate about making disciples and faithfully shepherding the people of Temple Baptist Fairview.
