September Focus - TBMB Golden Offering

The Golden Offering supports compassion ministries, disaster relief, BCM, and church planting.

Our own state is a mission field! The donations collected through the Tennessee Golden Offering stay in state to promote the work of the Lord. The second week of September is designated as time to pray for Tennessee Missions, and the month of September is the designated month to give. Donations can be contributed throughout the year, and a link has been placed below to the TBMB where you can give today. Walnut Grove also helps TN missions with our support of the backpack giveaways!

Meet the Pastors

Pastor Bios

Rev. Jonas Turpin

I am blessed to serve as Pastor of WGBC since January 2019. I have been called by God to preach the gospel, and Cane Creek Baptist Church ordained and licensed me as a Baptist minister. My wife and best friend, Erica, serves with me in the ministry of our Lord Jesus. We have been married since July 2006, and God gave us three wonderful children Luke, Deacon, and Lydie Turpin. I enjoy teaching, leading others to Christ, and helping others in need. I also enjoy playing golf, traveling with my family, and playing with my dog named Oreo.

Rev. Kevin "Turtle" Manis

Since 2014, I have been thankful to serve as the Youth Pastor at WGBC. I was ordained to preach the gospel ministry by Cedar Valley Baptist Church. God has blessed me with a wife and best friend, Tressa, and a daughter, Kaitlyn. My daughter lives in Nashville and is a law student. I love ministering to youth groups and going to conferences. My interests include blacksmithing, wearing Hawaiian shirts, and I am an Eagle Scout. Tressa and I have loved raising many great dogs. Right now, we have a hyper puppy named River, and we have a grand dog named Rhydian.
