Pastor Jerry Ross was saved at a young age at Rock Run Baptist Church north of Brazil, Indiana. He was called to preach in 1979 shortly after graduating from Blessed Hope Baptist School in Jasonville, Indiana. He then attended Hyles-Anderson Bible College and graduated in 1987 with a B.S. in Pastoral Theology. He met his future wife, Sheryl, while in college and God has since blessed them with three daughters.
Pastor Ross has served in the gospel ministry since graduating from Bible college, first as the Pastor of Central Baptist Church in Brazil, Indiana, then as a full-time assistant pastor at Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Jasonville, Indiana, and now as the senior pastor of that same church. He has also authored several books and booklets including The Teenage Years of Jesus Christ, Stay in the Castle, and Grace Will Lead Me Home.
