Where Faith Meets Community: Pastor Aaron Long’s Sunday Columns
When I first connected with Rev. Aaron Long over the phone through Toney Kincaid and the Epilepsy Foundation, I found more than just polite conversation — I found a Pastor willing to talk about what faith should look like in the local community.
Kincaid had been turned away by several churches when he approached Paul’s Chapel about their outreach to those with Epilepsy. Aaron’s was the voice that picked up the call. That willingness to step in and serve is exactly what his Faith & Fellowship columns in Davidson Local are all about.
Why you should read them:
1. He asks the hard questions.
Aaron doesn’t shy away from how faith, politics, and history collide in today’s church world. For instance, he writes, “Christianity isn’t a political brand; it’s an all-consuming belief that transforms from the inside out.”
2. He highlights community action over comfort.
When a church steps up for a foundation that others passed over, that’s not just a soundbite — it’s faith in action. His writing mirrors that same ethic.
3. He’s rooted in local soil.
Davidson County born and raised, serving at Paul’s Chapel in Lexington, NC, Aaron understands our region’s heart — its struggles and its stubborn hope. That gives his column both grit and grace.
4. He brings history and tradition into the conversation.
Our conversations often drift toward how politics, faith, and history shape each other — and how the church can still be a force for good when it remembers its roots. Aaron’s voice carries that message: the church isn’t just a Sunday event; it’s a living, breathing legacy of service and transformation.
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like for the church to really serve the community — not just in word but in work — dive into Aaron’s column series. Maybe share it. Maybe quote it. Then let’s hold ourselves accountable too.
