MEET OUR TEAM 

JAMIE GRISHAM | Lead Pastor

Meet Jamie Grisham, the lead Pastor of Compassion Church located in Dickson, Tennessee. He is joined by his loving wife, Jill and their two children, Abby and River. Their oldest child, Kaley, is a proud graduate of Southwestern Christian University and is happily married to Blake. In 2023, they welcomed their first child, Brixton, and currently reside in Oklahoma City, OK.
 His powerful messages resonate with people of all ages, drawing them closer to their faith in Jesus. Jamie’s heart for serving also extends to other pastors and churches, as he passionately serves as the Vice-President of Compassion Network, which oversees 39 churches. His leadership and guidance have been instrumental in advancing the kingdom of God.
 In 2023, Jamie was elected as the Bishop of the Tennessee Valley Conference, where he continues to serve and support churches, pastors, and licensed ministers in their spiritual journeys.
 Spending time with his family is Jamie’s greatest joy, above all else. He firmly believes in putting God first, followed by his spouse, children, and then his calling in life. As he likes to say, “Be you, have fun, and enjoy the journey.” When he is not busy fulfilling his duties as a pastor, you can find Jamie rooting for his beloved Alabama football team (Roll Tide) or indulging in his newest hobby, hunting.
