Dr. Greg A. Cole

Pastor Greg Cole trusted Christ as his Savior as a young boy and first came to Bible Baptist Church as a teenager in 1995. God used this church to deepen his walk with Christ, and it was here, at sixteen, that he publicly surrendered to the call to preach.

He earned degrees in Divinity and Religious Education from Massillon Baptist College, graduating as valedictorian of both classes. He later earned a Master of Religious Education and a Doctor of Pastoral Counseling from Andersonville Theological Seminary, both Summa Cum Laude.

In 2003, he and his wife, Kelly-Jo, moved to Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania. For ten years he served as Assistant Pastor of Chichester Baptist Church, where they built a thriving bus ministry and an active children's ministry and saw many people come to Christ. In 2013 the Lord brought them home to Bible Baptist as Associate Pastor, and in 2016 the church called him to be its pastor. Today Pastor Cole and his family are devoted to faithfully preaching God's Word and reaching Ashtabula County with the Gospel.

Mrs. Kelly-Jo Cole

Kelly-Jo Cole trusted Christ as her Savior at a young age and later surrendered her life to do the will of God. She graduated with honors from Massillon Baptist College in Massillon, Ohio, with a degree in Religious Education.

Since their marriage in 2003, Kelly-Jo has served the Lord alongside her husband. They spent ten years at Chichester Baptist Church in Pennsylvania, where they built its bus and children's ministries together. At Bible Baptist Church she serves as church secretary, keeping the day-to-day work of the church office running smoothly, and she is actively involved in our children's ministry.

Kelly-Jo is warm and friendly, and many in our church family know her as a faithful friend who is always ready with a listening ear and godly counsel. A gifted musician, she sings and plays the piano, organ, and flute.
