--- BIOGRAPHY OF JERED W. DAY Jered assumed his full time position as Minister to Students and Singles at First Baptist on September 29, 2008, after serving in that capacity on a part-time basis since the previous June. His contagious passion for Christ and his love for people have resulted in a rapidly growing ministry among our college students and singles.
He is 29 years old and is married to the former Jennifer Baker, who grew up in Barnesville. Jered met Jenny while he was president of the Baptist Student Union at Gordon College. They have two children, Ethan (3) and Isaac (2), and are building a home here in Lamar County.
Jered has worked as a General Manager for Starbucks Coffee first in Tupelo, Mississippi and now in Macon. Before that, from 2001 to 2005, he was a Unit Marketing Director for Chick-fil-A in North Carolina and Georgia. He has a B.S. degree from West Georgia College in Carrollton and is presently working toward his Masters in Christian Education from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
He has served as full-time Associate Pastor and Youth Minister at East Newnan Baptist Church where he was licensed and ordained to the ministry. He has also served as part-time youth minister at Olive Branch Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina and at Liberty Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, while he was employed by Chick-fil-A.
In some excerpts from his "Statement of Faith and Call to Service," Jered says, "I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior my junior year in high school...I then went to Gordon College where I found my passion...I started that day in college ministry witnessing to anyone who would listen to me...I was chosen to present God's truth, unashamed and with diligence. I will accomplish the purpose God has chosen for me. Will you accomplish yours?"
This page will introduce you to the new SINGLE ADULTS MINISTRY here at First Baptist Barnesville. Jered Day is our new minister, and we all look forward to working with him and assisting in any way we can. For the time being, you can get in touch with Jered through the church office at 770-358-2353 or fbcssm@fbcbarnesville.com.
There will be more information forthcoming!
COLLEGE and CAREER (ages 18-24)
Jered says. . .
Starting the first week in August we will begin meeting on Wednesday at 6:30pm. Also, we have planned a trip to Helen for August 4th - 6th. We will leave around 11:00am and return Wednesday late afternoon. The cost is very manageable and all the group has to cover is food for the trip. We are very excited about this trip and also about this group. We have been playing softball in the Barnesville League on Tuesdeays and Thursdays, and we are becoming closer as a group. I am thrilled at the support I have gotten from the staff and the church as a whole. I will never be able to say thank you enough for all the help and support that I have received these months. I am excited to be a part of a place this special.
Please feel free to e-mail me at jered@fbcbarnesville.com. If I am a little slow in getting back to you , it is because we are building a new home just south of Barnesville and that is taking lots of time now. THANKS!
SINGLES
and, Jered says. . .
We started meeting as non-college and young career singles, and the foundation has been laid. We meet on Tuesday at 7:00pm in the white house next to the church on the sanctuary side. We are going to make some changes with this group that I am very excited about. We are starting a Sunday School Class at 9:45am meeting in room D-104 in the lower hallway in the gym. Rick and Belinda McCall have pursued a passion for this age group and will be leading this class. Other changes are starting on August 3rd when we will meet for Bible Study at 6:00pm on Sundays going forth. We are going to get together every 2nd and 4th Saturday at 7:00pm for dinner, games, or anything that the group would like to do. I would love to invite our singles to join us in this transition. I am so excited about this group and stories I will remember forever as we bond together to learn more about Christ and more about each other!
