His arrival on the board represents more than just the addition of a new member—it signifies a powerful step forward in advancing the mission of Christian education, building strong spiritual foundations, and fostering a community where students are encouraged to grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Born and raised in South Carolina, Pastor Collins has spent his life serving others through the power of the gospel. A proud graduate of North Greenville University, he began his journey in full-time ministry in 1998 and has spent over two decades faithfully answering the call to lead, mentor, and teach. Currently, he serves as the Senior Pastor of Jamestown Baptist Church in Conway, South Carolina, where his heart for people and passion for scripture are evident in every message he shares and every life he touches.
Throughout his ministry, Pastor Collins has been known for his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether preaching from the pulpit, offering guidance in times of personal trial, or simply enjoying a conversation with a member of his congregation, he leads with humility, compassion, and a genuine love for the Lord. His life and leadership are marked by consistency, authenticity, and a clear desire to glorify God in all things.
For those who know him best, Pastor Collins embodies the very principles that Conway Christian School seeks to instill in its students—faith, integrity, perseverance, and service. As both a spiritual leader and a father, he understands the vital role Christian education plays in shaping the next generation of leaders. His commitment to this cause is personal, as his youngest son, Cooper, is currently a student at CCS. Pastor Collins and his wife Paula, who have faithfully walked together through the journey of parenthood and ministry, are proud parents to three sons: Noah, Nickolas, and Cooper. Their family’s presence and active involvement in the community have already made a positive impact, and this new opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors reflects Pastor Collins’s willingness to further invest in the future of the school.
In his free time, Pastor Collins finds joy in music, golf, and cheering on his beloved South Carolina Gamecocks. His hobbies may seem simple, but they reflect a balanced life filled with joy, family, and rest—something he encourages others to pursue as part of their Christian walk. These moments of leisure, coupled with his strong work ethic and devotion to Christ, make him a relatable and approachable leader who understands the importance of both diligence and delight in our everyday lives.
What makes Pastor Collins’s appointment to the CCS Board of Directors especially meaningful is the clarity of his calling and the strength of his convictions.

He brings with him not only years of preaching and teaching but also the pastoral care and discernment that come from walking with people through every season of life. This kind of wisdom is invaluable when making decisions that affect students, families, faculty, and the broader school community.
