Jeremy Griggs

I was born in Pulaski, Tennessee and grew up in Shelbyville, Tennessee before relocating to Chattanooga in 1995. I have been married to my amazing wife, Crystal, since 1996 and we have a son, Brock, who was born in 2004. Crystal and I enjoy spending Saturdays together hunting treasures at thrift stores and our trips to Panama City Beach. Brock is an avid train enthusiast and gets to that out working at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.

I came to saving faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ when I was 10 years old, and God has blessed me over the years and opened doors for me to teach multiple classes over the years and to be ordained as a deacon in 2005. But, it was not until 2020 that I felt the clear call from the Lord to enter into a deeper service to Him. I enrolled in seminary and completed the Master of Ministry degree from Crown Seminary in May 2022. I received the Bachelor of Science in Public Relations with minors in History and Economics from Middle Tennessee State University in December 1994.

I have served as both a Pastoral Intern and Pastoral Resident at Ridgedale since 2021, and am excited to start my new role, beginning June 1, 2024, as the Senior Adult Pastor at Ridgedale. I am excited with where the Lord has been leading our Senior Adults at Ridgedale and eagerly look forward to the plans He has for us in the days and years to come!
