We’ve been gathering in East Hill since February 2026, and we’re grateful to call this neighborhood home. We’re here to put down roots, build lasting friendships, and share the hope of Jesus Christ as we study God’s Word and serve our neighbors.

Pensacola Bible Church is led by a team of overseers: Pastor Sagar Sukka, Bill Striepeck, Dave McCormack, and Gabriel Thompson. They share responsibility for caring for the church family, teaching faithfully from the Bible, and overseeing the church’s mission and finances. Each meets the biblical qualifications for elders described in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9. Our leaders seek to serve with humility and transparency, remain approachable, and welcome questions.

Pastor Sagar Sukka serves as Lead Pastor of Pensacola Bible Church. He holds a Master’s in Biblical Studies from Moody Theological Seminary and a BBA from Osmania University. Over his years in pastoral ministry, he has served as Associate Pastor at Baptist Church Hyderabad and Beach Haven Baptist Church, Pastor of Students at FBC Gulf Breeze & Storypoint, and Operations Associate at Olive Baptist Church. Beyond local pastoral care, Sagar has a deep passion for global ministry, founding Seminary on Wheels in 2017 to equip local pastors in India with formal hermeneutics training.

Pensacola Bible Church is an independent church, meaning we are not part of a larger denominational organization. A team of elders provides leadership and care for our church family, looking to the Bible to guide what we believe and how we live. Our leaders seek to be approachable, communicate openly, and welcome questions about our beliefs, decisions, and church life.
