About Our Pastor

Toby accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of 6 during a revival service at Union Grove Baptist Church in Decatur, TN. At the age of 13, he announced his call to preach and was used by the Lord as a youth evangelist until being called to his first church as a youth pastor at the age of 19. 

His wife, Johnna, was saved at the age of 15 during a Meigs County Football Choir singing at Meigs County High School. Her biggest ministry is supporting her pastor-husband and serving the church in the areas of teaching both children and ladies.

Toby served Greenwood Baptist Church until moving to New Orleans with his family for seminary. While in Louisiana, Toby has served two congregations as pastor and NOBTS as the Church-Minister Relations Consultant.

Calhoun First Baptist Church is excited about Toby and his family joining us, and we are excited to be part of what God is doing in Calhoun and our surrounding area!
