Lay Pastors

At one of the most crucial moments in the history of the Church they gathered to decide a very important issue. After the issue was resolved they selected “leading men among the brothers” to assist in the implementation of this important decision. This is the background for what we call our Lay Pastors. These are “leading men among the brothers” here at Grand Parkway and are men of integrity and theological orientation who can be a resource to you should you need someone to pray with you, speak into a problem/circumstance or serve as a listening ear.

As always, our pastoral staff is available as needed but by adding Lay Pastors we are expanding our influence while giving you a pool of gifted men from which to draw upon. To contact one of our Lay Pastors simply click the link below their picture and you will connect directly to them.
