Welcome from our Lead Team!

I have been a Deacon here for 20 years. My wife Judy and I have a son, Jason & a daughter, Erika, 2 grandsons, 4 grand daughters, and

one great grand-daughter! I earned a Masters degree in Civil Engineering from Austin Peay & Tennessee Tech

respectively and worked for TDOT for

"I was holding on to my soul running from the Lord until the Second Baptist Church family showed me

how it feels to be loved by the Lord & to submit my life to Him over 30 years ago."

Charles Garrett

Having grown up at Second Baptist Church I learned what it meant to care for our neighbors, our city, and our community. I proudly lead our homeless ministries as well as our musical worship.

I attend Shorter University in Rome Ga. and I'm blessed to be able to come home to lead worship.

I have been the pianist at Second Baptist twice now!

I have three boys, and work as a pre-school teacher in Chickamauga.

My favorite Bible Verse is Joshua 1:9 and my favorite hymn is "What a Friend we Have in Jesus".

I grew up in Chickamauga Ga, and currently attend Shorter University in pursuit of a B.M. in Music Education.

I am a music composer, Trumpet player and currently serve Second Baptist as Organist & Assistant Pianist.
