Pastor Joe Case
Joe Case was literally raised in church in Jackson, TN, but did not give his life to the Lord until August 1979 while watching a Billy Graham Crusade. He soon felt God calling him into the ministry.
Joe struggled with his calling into the ministry, but finally stepped into it in the early 90's when he was asked to teach a new Married Adult Sunday School class at Two Rivers Baptist Church. The class started with 8 people and soon had 80 on the roll.
Joe left Two Rivers in 1996 to plant his first church in Kingston Springs, TN (on west side of Nashville). He served there until 2005, leaving to help a fellow Pastor friend launch The Bridge Fellowship in Mt. Juliet, TN. Joe served there as Teaching Pastor, and helped The Bridge reach over 300 in attendance in less than six months.
In 2007, Joe followed the Lord's lead and planted Uprising Church in the Bellevue area of Nashville, where he has served since. Today he serves as Co-Pastor of Bellevue Grace/Uprising with Pastor David Crawford.
You might also remember Joe from his over 20 years as a weatherman on Nashville television. He left that career to become full time Pastor in April 2007. To this day, he'll still fill in as a weather guy from time to time.
Joe is married to Pam and they have three kids, Chelsea, Stephanie and Chris.
And for fun? Joe loves playing a round of golf with the guys, hanging in his woodworking shop, or simply enjoying a "cup of joe" at the local Starbucks.
No matter where he is - it's about making the name of Jesus famous!
