Pastor Todd Jarman and his wife Allison are originally from Barstow, CA, a small town in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Married on June 12,1985 they began their family in Barstow. Allison gave birth to two sons, Justin and Jason and one daughter Autumn Rose before the couple moved to Monongah, WV in 1993.

 

Pastor Todd spent most of his career in the trucking industry until after his first three children had grown. Always willing to serve the church as Sunday School teachers, youth group leaders and Deacons, the couple, now as empty nesters, began to feel the call of the Holy Spirit to full time ministry.

​

After seeking the advice of his own pastor, Pastor Todd was approved for ministry by the pastor and congregation of the First Baptist Church of Shinnston, WV and licensed by the West Virginia Secretary of State. He enrolled in and completed the certificate program of the West Virginia Baptist Convention School of Christian Studies.  

​

On May 1, 2011 Pastor Todd and Allison were called to the senior Pastor’s position at Hepzibah Baptist Church in Hepzibah, WV where he served that congregation for nine and a half years until being called to First Baptist Church of Grafton.

​

After entering the ministry Pastor Todd and Allison became involved in the Foster Care program here in the state of WV. They have since adopted three foster children, two brothers, Daniel and Bentley, and their sister Emmalee. The couple has also been blessed with five beautiful grandchildren whom they dearly love. 
 

Pastor Todd’s personal interests include vocal performance, crafting, playing basketball and riding his motorcycle.
