Testimony

Pastor Jeremiah Young had the wonderful privilege of growing up in a Christian home.  Although he was raised in church all of his life, it was not until he was 18 years old, that he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.  Not long after he gave his life to Christ, God called him to go to Bible College in northern Michigan.  While attending Bible College, God called him to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He met Emma, the love of his life, during his first week as a college student.  Jeremiah and Emma were married in May of 2011.  God has truly blessed the Young family and done some amazing things in their ministry.

Pastor Young has served the Lord as an assistant/youth pastor since he graduated valedictorian in 2012.  He has been privileged to see many souls come to know Christ and develop a walk with the Lord through his ministry.  Though Pastor Young has loved the many years of working primarily with young people, he felt burdened by the Lord to pastor.  After much prayer and fasting, the Lord opened the door for the Young family to move to Wyoming to become the pastor of First Baptist Church of Cody in February of 2025.  Jeremiah and Emma have been blessed by the Lord with 4 wonderful children, Joseph (11), Eliana (9), Jackson (6), and Olivia (3).  First Baptist Church and Pastor Young are looking forward to what the Lord has in store for Cody in the coming years.  To God be the Glory!
