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. 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 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, was our sending church.

We now have 4 children, Jillian, Jenna, Jana & Jared. 

Our vision is to see souls saved in the Washington Court House area, 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. 

We would love to hear from you if you have any questions regarding our church 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. 

~Jeremy and Julie Griffith~
