Hello, Our names are Jeremy & Julie Griffith. God has called our family to plant a new Independent Baptist Church. We are looking forward to meeting you personally and serving in Christ together.

Pastor Tom Walz led me to the Lord on April 15th, 1997 while attending a church service at the Hocking County Fairgrounds in Logan, Ohio. Ruth Walz led Julie to the Lord as a little girl in Greenfield, Ohio. Although Julie & I were happily married the same year I came to know the Lord, the Lord was not first in our life. God’s grace turned our hearts and we surrendered to live for Him soon after our 2nd child, Jenna, underwent & survived two heart surgeries. Shortly after becoming members of Hillsboro Bible Baptist Church, Julie & I began to help in the Youth Department. It was while visiting Camp Chautauqua in 2004, I felt a calling to be a pastor. My family moved to Hocking County to work, serve, & train under the Leadership of my father-in-law, Pastor Tom Walz, of Cornerstone Baptist Church. I have served as the Youth & Children’s Pastor for the last 3 years. The Lord has allowed our time to successfully bring about a bus ministry, a yearly Vacation Bible School, a Wednesday night Keeper’s Club, and trips to Camp Chautauqua. I began praying over a year ago for the Lord to move in our life. In November 2007, I felt a desire to plant a baby church. My prayer was answered when the Lord confirmed the call on our family to move to Washington Court House to start a new work. Hillsboro Bible Baptist Church, Pastor Dan Lamb, will be the sending church.

We now have 4 children, Jillian 10 years old, Jenna 6 years old, Jana 3 years old & Jared 6 months old. 

We are currently trying to sell our home and prepare a building to start the new church. Our vision is to see souls saved and to be a good steward of a soul-saving station. The church’s mission being to evangelize, edify & equip believers to reach the world. 

If the Lord allows, the first Sunday will be October 12th, 2008. Please pray with us for this new work.

We would love to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email: Jeremy@anchorbaptistchurchwch.org. 

By sending us your email address, we will be able to keep you informed of any progress. We would appreciate any names that you may know who would be interested in being apart of starting this work of the Lord.
