Jamin
was born and raised in
Jackson, Georgia, which
is just south of

is an avid

his life to the Lord in

age of 18.
He obtained
a Bachelor of Arts in
Psychology from
Brewton-Parker College

Master of Divinity from
New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary in

Jamin
realized the call of God
on his life in the fall
of 2000 to be in the
ministry, and from that
point on, God has shown
His sovereignty in Jamin's life each day.
Jamin married Kelly in
June of 2007 and she
assists him in his
ministry with the teens,
plays the bass guitar
for our Praise & Worship

Jon
and Rebekah hail from
the Triad area of North
Carolina.
(Go Tarheels!)
Jon
attended Liberty
University, transferred,
and graduated from
Trinity Baptist College
with a B.A. in Pastoral
Theology. He is

Master of Ministry at
Piedmont Bible College.
Jon has served as an

pastored for the past 8
years at Pleasant View
Baptist Church (Eden,
NC). He loves sports,
watching movies,
swimming, reading, and
hanging out with his
family and friends. He
aspires to reach the
unsaved and unchurched
of Greenville.
Preaching the Word,
reaching the lost and
encouraging believers to
grow in their knowledge
and practical use of the
Scriptures is his
passion.
Rebekah is also a
graduate of Trinity
Baptist College with a
degree in Elementary
Education. Turning kids'
hearts to our Savior
and equipping kids with
the tools to be able to
vocalize their faith and
have fun doing it is her
calling and passion!
She taught elementary
school in Tennessee,
worked alongside Jon
during
their youth ministry
years and
was the ministry
coordinator at their
church in Eden. She
loves to paint, sing,
shop with friends, visit
with family & cuddle
with her fellas.
Their
sons, Jonathan II and
Jared, enjoy riding
their bikes, playing
sports and their Wii,
swimming, and making
home-made movies. There
is never a dull moment
in the Bowman family!
The
Bowmans are grateful for
the opportunity to serve
the people of Grace and
the Greenville area.
