Tyler Gatrost
At seven years of age I made a profession of faith before the church that I had grown up in from birth and continued to go to every Sunday with my family for the next 20 years, while presuming to be a Christian. By God’s kind providence, a series of physical trials had humbled me to the point of being disabled. After listening to an evangelist preach, I had examined myself in the mirror of God's Law and my eyes were opened to see the exceeding sinfulness of my sins. The Holy Spirit had begun to produce a godly sorrow over my sins and grant me repentance from them and faith towards Jesus Christ to save me. He has since blessed me with a beautiful wife who loves Jesus Christ and we have 3 wonderful children together. We are currently members of Corydon Baptist church in Southern Indiana where we are committed to being discipled while making disciples for the Glory of God by His grace.
Jeremy Johnson
Hello, my name Is Jeremy Johnson and I'm a seminary student at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary and am recently married. By God's grace I have a heart for the lost and have done evangelism work for four years now, handing out tracts, open-air preaching, preaching at jails/nursing homes, etc. In His strength I fight to live not for myself, and press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Jeffrey Montgomery
My name is Jeff Montgomery. I am 24 years old, I have a wife and two wonderful children I was raised in a church that did not appropriately or truthfully present the gospel and the core doctrines of Scripture. God revealed the truth to me in August 2020, through various teachers, friends and the Bible. My family and I currently attend Little Flock Baptist Church in Louisville Kentucky. I am so grateful for the passions God has placed on my heart for people that would ascribe to Christianity, yet know very little to nothing about salvation, God's grace, and what Scripture teaches.
Matt Griffin
My name is Matthew Griffin. The LORD called me December 25, 2016. Currently the LORD has blessed me to be a member at Immanuel Baptist Church. My passions are studying Scripture and art.
Taylor Clapp
I moved to Louisville in 2016 to study classical music. I became a Christian shortly before starting college when God showed me through His word that mere belief in Jesus is meaningless without repentance and genuine faith. I joined 3rd Avenue Baptist Church in 2017 and have been serving there ever since. I love rock climbing and playing the trombone.
