GCC's Leadership

After serving as a pastor in other Sovereign Grace churches in Florida, Texas, and British Columbia, Tony came to GCC in 2016. Later that year, Tony took on the lead pastor role, overseeing the pastoral team as well as covering the bulk of the preaching ministry. Tony and his wife Mary have been married for 45 years and have three children, eight grandchildren, and one dog.

Pete and his wife, Betsy, were part of the original team sent from Virginia Beach, VA, to plant Grace Community Church in 1998. After serving in another Sovereign Grace church plant in Frisco, TX, from 2005 to 2015, Pete and Betsy returned to Westminster. Pete and Betsy have been married for 43 years and have four children and seven grandchildren.

Michael has been a member of GCC since 2002, and was ordained as an elder in January of 2020. He has served in a number of different ministry roles over the years, and is grateful for the privilege to help care for the GCC church family in his pastoral role. He and his wife Catherine were married in 2018, being richly blessed after having both been widowed. Combined, they have 6 children and 10 grandchildren.

Josh was nine years old when his family moved from Virginia Beach, VA to help plant Grace Community Church in 1998. After participating in other Sovereign Grace church plants and attending school in Dallas, TX and Louisville, KY, Josh joined the team here as a pastoral intern in 2020 and was ordained in 2024. 

Jeff and Melissa came to GCC in 2017. In 2018, Jeff was brought on as the church’s administrator. He also currently serves as one of GCC’s worship leaders and leads a small group. As of his ordination in early 2025, he serves as part of GCC’s pastoral team. Jeff and Melissa are elated that their kids and grandkids are all part of GCC!
