Our Leadership
Our pastor loves God and loves people, and that special heart is clearly demonstrated when he opens the Word for us each Sunday. His messages are encouraging and always clearly communicate God's Word. Personally, he is approachable and a real "people person". New to Grace? Pastor Kevin and Doreen look forward meeting you very soon!
