On June 24, 1962, he married the former Patsy Clements, his high school sweetheart. They now have five grown children, plus one already in heaven who was stillborn.

After spending 13 years in secular work during which time he was ordained as a Baptist deacon, taught numerous Bible classes, and became a bus captain, God called him into full-time service. Eighteen months were spent in the college and church at the large Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, when Dr. Bob Gray was pastor. Transferring back home to Baptist University of America in Atlanta, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible was earned with honors in 1977. Pastor Anderson was conferred an honorary doctorate by Trinity Baptist Seminary in 1997. Pastor Anderson views himself as "an ordinary man on an extraordinary mission" with anything accomplished owing to God's marvelous grace and the faithfulness and prayers of his Godly wife of these 40 plus years.
