Dr. Greg McFadden Senior Pastor, Minister of Evangelism

Dr. Greg McFadden, Senior Pastor

Since joining us over 20 years ago, Pastor Greg has been diligent in seeking to shepherd the church according to the will of God. That resolve has not faded, and he is now leading us as we expand our focus beyond our local community. Starting with a three-county region, Pastor Greg’s motivation is to equip every church member to proclaim the truth where they live, not just where they gather for corporate worship.  Greg’s wife, Sheila, loves singing on the praise team and teaching a women’s Bible study group. They have three grown children and in December they will welcome their 2^nd grandson!
