Rev. Kent H. Garner came to BLC from St. Paul Lutheran Church in Canonsburg, PA in November 1977. His ministry emphasized worship, music, prayer, and education, along with outreach and mission. The congregation grew steadily and by the time of his retirement in 2008, it numbered nearly 1000 members.
Pastor Garner retired on November 1, 2008, presiding over his final service on All Saints Sunday, the same festival Sunday that he led his first service in 1977.  He served faithfully for 31 years and is its longest tenured pastor.
