The New Orleans Marriott.

Gregory’s love of people extends far beyond the New Orleans Marriott. Gregory is Pastor of Behold The Lamb Ministries International Church which he founded in New Orleans in August 2011. The Church stands as a beacon of service and community engagement, actively seeking to uplift and support those in need. They feed the homeless, visit nursing homes and patients at Children’s Hospital of New Orleans during the holiday season and are also remembered with gifts. To Pastor Gregory, the Church is more than a place of worship: it is a vibrant community of believers who strive to make a difference in the world. Led by Pastor Gregory, the Church inspires hope, spreads love and serves the community with dedication and compassion. 

Gregory Baptiste and other 2024 NTTW champions are celebrated at the annual pep rally.
