Grant Gilliam is a proud Mississippi native!

He grew up in Clinton, MS and met his lovely wife, Jada, in the library at Mississippi College in 2014. While there, Grant earned his degree in Christian Studies and participated in RUF campus ministry where he developed a call to ministry within the Presbyterian Church in America. Grant would continue his studies at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. While earning his Masters of Divinity, he served at First Presbyterian Church Crystal Springs, MS and taught at Christ Covenant School in Ridgeland, MS.

In 2020, The Lord called the Gilliam’s to Columbus, Georgia where Grant was ordained in the PCA as an Assistant Pastor at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. During his time in Georgia, the Lord instilled in Grant a deeper desire to shepherd and preach along with a stirring to go back to Mississippi.  So, it was with great joy that Grant took the call to return home to pastor in Charleston, MS!

Grant loves drinking coffee with Jada, fly fishing, camping, hiking, running, grilling, and watching soccer and baseball. Also, with two sons, Gray and Banks, and two daughters, Joan and Klara, he finds himself often wondering how what Jada cleans gets messy so fast!
