Staff & Leadership

Justin is our pastor (which is also called Teaching Elder). He grew up in LA. Not that one. No, not that one either. Rather . . . . lower Alabama. Justin and his wife, Susan have been in Spartanburg for 11 years. They have three kids ranging from high school to college: Jack, Will, and Emma. When he’s not preparing a sermon, counseling church members, studying, or any of the many demanding pastoral privileges and duties, you might find him hiking, fishing, kayaking, or watching sports. He would really like to improve on being a fisherman . . . both the evangelism kind and on the stream. He is really good at criticizing Auburn's play calling and at keeping calm and carrying on - and occasionally . . . helping others to do that as well. He loves welcoming atmosphere at Grace, their commitment to living out the Christian life in the ordinary places and relationships of everyday life, and their love for one another and worship that points us to Jesus.
