Tony Merritt, Jr.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Tony came to know the Lord during his senior year of high school. The Lord clearly showed Tony his own self-righteousness and the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Tony was an active member of International Bible Baptist Church, and also met his wife (Erline) there.

Tony worked as a teacher in South Florida, and in England. He and his family moved to London, England to serve as bi-vocational missionaries in 2014. They were members of Slade Evangelical Church, and helped to plant Abbey Wood Community Church. Tony and his family later moved back to the States for the Capitol Hill Baptist Church Pastoral Internship in 2017. They then went back to Miami to help plant Kendall Baptist Church, where he served as a lay elder.

In 2020, Tony went back to International Bible Baptist Church (now Global Church) to serve as a Pastoral Resident, and to complete his MDiv from Southeastern Seminary. Tony now serves as the Associate Pastor of Cheverly Baptist Church. Tony has been happily married to Erline for over 13 years, and they have 4 beautiful and fun children (Olivia, Eden, Alan & Timothy).
