Hi, I’m Pastor Gregg—welcome to Asbury. I’m really glad you’re here!

This is the part where I tell you a little about myself. Truth be told, I’d rather have a conversation where I could hear more of your story, too—but here are a few things about me.

I wear boots (most days). Square-toed—the pointed ones pinch. I drive a truck—partial to the F150, but not a snob about it. And I love bacon. Put it on anything, and that thing gets better (my wife would not agree).

I’m a pastor who’s passionate about helping people belong—to God and to each other—because we all do. I believe the church should be a place of radical welcome, where you can show up as you are, with whatever baggage you’re carrying, and be part of a community growing together in faith, hope, and love. Recognizing, of course, that each of our spiritual journeys tends to travel along crooked roads more than straight paths.

Amy and I both have Houston roots. She was born and raised here and still has family nearby. My dad grew up here, too—though I was born in Los Angeles, where my mom and her side of the family are from (a story for another time). We’re especially excited to be part of the Asbury community in Pasadena.

I’m a graduate of Hendrix College and Asbury Theological Seminary, but what’s shaped me most is walking with real people through real life and watching God show up in surprising and beautiful ways. 

Amy’s my favorite person on the planet. We’ve got four great kids—two married and out on their own. We know what it’s like to juggle family life and carry the deep desire to raise kids who know they are deeply loved.

I love good stories, good conversations, and good breakfast tacos (with bacon, obviously). But more than anything, I love how grace shows up—often when we least expect it—and begins to change how we see God, ourselves, and each other.

I would love to meet you. Asbury is a church that makes a difference—in people’s lives and in the well-being of our community. It matters that this church is in this community. It matters a lot. 

And I’d love for you to be part of it. There’s a place for you here!
