We’re here to help the people who need more, find more.

To the people who can’t see the value or point any more, we can show you the point.

To the people who’ve gone through loss, illness, mental challenges, hard questions about science and faith, or whatever else it is that causes you to say:

• “I don’t know if I can do the this any more.”

• “I don’t know if I can sing the songs any more.”

• “I don’t know if I can act like everything’s okay when it’s not.”

This is the church for you.

The Pastors

“Pastor” is one of those “churchy” words that has lost some of its meaning in our time and culture. Our pastors are the people in our community who are gifted to guide you along your path to spiritual growth. They are leaders, teachers, counselors, and friends. Our pastors can be pretty sarcastic and snarky, and they seem to enjoy challenging assumptions and stepping on your toes should the need arise.

Pastor Devon loves Thai food (spicy level four), is a professional plate-balancer, and has Razorback super-fan status. Devon graduated with a Bachelor’s in Religious Studies from Regent University while simultaneously supporting his family. He is happily married to Neysa, and they are proud to be entrusted with their three kids: Jude, Liam, and Rachel. He has worn many hats since starting in the ministry, but we are thankful to have him as our Lead Pastor here at Grace Church.

Pastor Larry is a die-hard fan of the Die Hard films, plays a Martin guitar, and is a natural dog whisperer. Larry holds degrees from Oral Roberts University (B.S. Telecommunications) and the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He is married to Pastor J, who leads our Prayer Team and Women’s Group, and they share the joy of four children and five grandchildren.

Pastor Zack received his Bachelor’s in Religion from Liberty University in 2010. He is married to Kristen, one of the kindest souls, and they have two kids: Abram & Olivia. While he enjoys theological study and discussion, he ultimately loves to see people find God through the everyday happenings of life and in the people they encounter. He is an advocate for peace and unity in the body of Christ, and seeing that the outcast has a home.

Board of Elders

“Elder” is another “churchy” word that we use to signify people in our community who have demonstrated tremendous commitment to our community, their own spiritual formation, and helping our pastors guide you along your path. Representing a diverse demographic, they serve as board members of the organization and play a significant role in accountability and direction.
