Eleven years ago, the illustrious Rev. Lindsey Phillip Napier, Sr. was appointed to serve as the pastor of the Warner Robins C.M.E. Church in Warner Robins, GA.  Prior to assuming this post, Rev. Napier served as the Presiding Elder of the Macon/Barnesville District of the Central GA Annual Conference of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.  For 40 years, he has served as a minister in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

Upon completion of high school, he would go on to pursue a bachelor's degree at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia.  He graduated in 1976 with a B.S.

Napier attended I.T.C. Phillips School of Theology and graduated with a Masters in Divinity.  Rev.
