Maverick Malone

Student Pastor

Maverick Malone

Student Pastor

Maverick has been on our GBC staff, serving as our student minister since January 2020. God called Maverick to ministry when he was 16 while he was a youth ministry member here at Georgetown Baptist Church. Ever since then, Maverick has wanted all of our youth and college students to know Christ and become disciples of Jesus so they can proclaim the gospel to the people around them.

Maverick married his wife Malorie in 2021 and they have 2 dogs: Luna and Dipper. Other than serving our church and taking care of their dogs, you can find Maverick and Malorie doing one of their many hobbies: golf, pickleball, coffee shops, or at their house grilling and playing board games.

Maverick loves this community and loves this church, and while he does our student ministry, Maverick loves to minister to all in need. You can get to know Maverick over a cup of coffee. Contact the office or email him and schedule a time to get to know the funniest staff member we have.
