The Staff
Brother Cal Hampton
My core beliefs line up with the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Brother Cal Hampton, his wife Diana and son Isaac
Cal
Hampton was ordained and licensed to the gospel ministry April 6th,
1997, by First Baptist Church of Clarksville, Tennessee. He holds
undergraduate and graduate degrees from Austin Peay State University
and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Cal and his wife, Diana,
have three children: Brittnye Franks, Paige Hampton, and Isaac
Hampton.
He officially became the pastor of Green River Baptist Church on December 27, 1997. During his tenure the church has experienced a 300% increase in worship attendance and a 250% increase in Sunday School attendance. Budget giving and mission giving have increased 270%. The church has led the Indian Creek Baptist Association in baptisms twelve out of the last thirteen years. A new Children's Ministry Building was completed in the Summer of 2008 and plans for future growth are in place. Additional ministerial staff has also been added to the church in his tenure.
Pastor Cal has served on the Tennessee Baptist Convention Executive Board and numerous positions of the Indian Creek Baptist Association. He has preached over 50 revivals in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and preached a crusade in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Outside of his relationship with Jesus Christ and his family, serving as the pastor of Green River Baptist Church is the joy of his life!

Brother Kerry Franks
I support the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Kerry Franks has been a life-long member of Green River Baptist Church being born at Green River. He was called as the Youth Pastor of Green River Baptist Church in September of 2006. Kerry was licensed and ordained to the gospel ministry on October 7, 2007.
Kerry has received a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a Masters of Business Education from The University of North Alabama as well as a Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.
Kerry has a heart for student ministries and a passion to see teenagers come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their life. Furthermore he strives to see students develop a relationship with Jesus and become life-long disciples. He loves to both study and communicate the Word of God with others. Kerry is not your normal Youth Pastor given the fact he can not play the guitar nor can he grow a decent goatee. He also plays a mean game of foosball.
