01:13faith in God. In 1953, the Jeremiah family moved to Cedarville, Ohio, when his father became

02:42with clarity and depth, and providing the tools he would need to lead a church effectively. Jeremiah

04:41importance of fellowship, service, and accountability within the church community. One of Jeremiah's core goals
04:48at the Blackhawk Baptist Church was to create a foundation of strong biblical teaching. He believed a church
04:55should serve as a place where believers could deepen their understanding of the Bible guided by accurate

05:39fellowship and growth, embodying the biblical principles of love, encouragement, and accountability. Jeremiah
05:46encouraged his congregation to participate in each other's lives actively, promoting unity and shared purpose. He
05:53helped his church members feel connected and valued through this effort, creating an environment beyond Sunday
