Jody is a native of Canton, Ga. who grew up attending Grace Church, and now serves as Associate Pastor. He is married to his wonderful wife Julie, (who he would be a colossal mess without!) and they are expecting their first child in July. Jody graduated from the University of Georgia in 2002, and Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida in 2006, where he earned a Masters of Divinity.

Upon graduating seminary, he moved back to Canton to serve as the pastoral intern for both Cherokee Presbyterian and Grace Church, as they were sharing building facilities at the time. In 2007, Grace called Jody to be its Associate Pastor and he was ordained by the Northwest Georgia Presbytery. In February 2009, Jody and Julie were married, and they love the good news of the righteousness of Christ Jesus and would be happy to help you apply that gospel to any aspect of your life. We hope to see you at Grace sometime soon!
