logan sherrill
Logan Sherrill is the evening anchor at Your Hometown Station, WDBJ7.
He’s an award-winning journalist who first called Roanoke home in January 2017. Since that time, he met his beautiful wife, Taylor whom he married in October 2021.
Logan is a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and a member at Lighthouse Bible Church in Vinton, where he and his wife teach the K-4th grade children twice a month.
He believes pouring into and mentoring our youth is crucial to stopping the problems plaguing our younger generation.
“For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them-even the children not yet born-and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.” Psalms 78: 5-7
