Born
in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Dr. Jay
Lockhart has always known he was
destined to become a gospel preacher.
He is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman
University, David Lipscomb University,
Harding Graduate School of Religion, and
earned his PhD from Trinity Theological
Seminary. Jay married the former Arlene
Carter in 1958. They are parents to
three children and enjoy six
grandchildren. Dr. Lockhart recently
celebrated his 50th year as a
minister preaching in West Virginia,
Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma. Dr.
Lockhart is a member of Board of
Trustees at Freed-Hardeman University.
We are very fortunate at the Benton
church to welcome Jay and Arlene into
our family.
