I am excited that you are taking the time to learn more about our church. Pastor Joey Grizzle and FamilyMy name is Joey Grizzle. Let me tell you a little about my journey. I am a proud husband and father. I have been married for 13 years and we have two sons, Jonathan and Josiah. I grew up in Gainesville, Georgia. Mia was born in Milton, Florida, and moved to Knoxville, Tennessee when she was twelve. We met while attending Lee College in Cleveland, Tennessee. We fell in love and later married on May 18, 1996...

We started our ministry as Youth Ministers at a wonderful Church in Ocoee, Tennessee. The Tennessee mountains were hard to leave behind when God led us south to Toccoa, Georgia. We worked with the youth at Toccoa Church of God for three years. God taught us so many things. While there we learned to pursue God in fasting and prayer. It was a discipline that we had taken for granted, but learned its’ true purpose and blessing. We will never forget the exciting times of worship and fellowship with those awesome young people.

In December 2000, God gave us the opportunity to pastor the Waynesboro Church of God just 25 miles south of Augusta, Georgia. We spent 5 of the best years of our lives at that church. Both of our sons were born there and God took our ministry and the strength of that incredible church to such exciting levels.

It was a very emotional goodbye when God sent us here on May 2, 2006. Despite the difficulty of walking through the open door in Monroe, we absolutely love this church. It is a family loaded with potential and people who are ready to swing the doors of their hearts and homes wide while offering the comfortable chair of fellowship. So today for these few moments God has brought you into our lives. We pray that you will be blessed by the moment we share and hope that you can call this church your home.
