God has blessed them with: Taylor, Lindsay Beth, Zachary, and Daniel. In 2009 they welcomed two additions to their family when their son, Taylor, married Meagan Lewis and their daughter, Lindsay Beth, married Dalton Stoltz. They have one son, Christian, who went to be with the Lord June 4, 1992. Grant and Tammy have been “grandparents” to four foster children and just welcomed their first biological grandson, Noah, into the family in 2011. The family’s life verse is Jeremiah 29:11.

Liberty has been recognized in the Top 100 Fastest Growing Churches, number one in Cooperative Program Giving, and the leading church in giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and in baptisms in the SBCV.
