Senior Pastor
Jace grew up in Lawton, OK, to great parents and a wonderful older sister.  He was educated at Oklahoma State University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Western Seminary.  As a young child, he trusted in Jesus after hearing the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection.  It wasn’t until college, however, that the LORD drew him into ministry.  Through an internship at a local church, he fell in love with studying and teaching the Word of God and decided to attend DTS to further his training.  During that time, he met his wife, Hannah, also a student there.  They met at the house of Grace’s former pastor, Andy Wileman, while they were taking Greek classes together. (Ask him about how he had noticed Hannah, but she had not noticed him in the class!) Jace and Hannah have four kids (Chloe, Clara, Judah, and Abigail).

Jace’s desire is to glorify God in all that he does.  Specifically, he is passionate about helping people catch glimpses of how great, beautiful, and holy God is by showing His work in sending His Son to die for our sins, sending His Spirit to indwell us, and promising to make all things new through the coming Kingdom of His beloved Son!

As the Senior Pastor, Jace delivers the sermon during both worship services on most Sunday mornings. He teaches directly from Scripture, walking through passages clearly and in a way that helps people understand not just what the text says, but why it matters. His heart is that people not only learn Bible lessons, but experience real, spiritual growth as a result of walking through the text together.
