Meet Our New Minister

The Reverend Dr. Gregory S. Neal

The Reverend Dr. Gregory S. Neal is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and Duke University where his studies included extensive work in Bible, Theology, Worship, and the Sacraments. While having been trained to be a Christian educator, as an ordained United Methodist minister Dr. Greg’s heart and soul can be found in the mission and ministry of the local church as an agent for change in society. Prior to coming to Grace UMC as Senior Pastor, he served for more than 30 years in the North Texas Conference, leading a multi-ethnic church, two Reconciling congregations, two inner-city churches, and a vibrant university church. He is gifted in helping congregations to think and plan strategically for times of change and is dedicated to helping people grow in faith and love toward God and their neighbor. He is the author of several books, including Grace Upon Grace: Sacramental Theology and the Christian Life and Seeking the Shepherd’s Arms: Reflections from the Pastoral Side of Life.

 

Greg is married to Kade Rogers, who is a motivational speaker, a specialist in Communications and Administration, an accomplished singer/songwriter, and an activist for the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons in The United Methodist Church. Together, they enjoy going to movies, plays, and concerts, watching a wide variety of TV shows, domestic and international travel, eating out and cooking at home. Over the past few years, they have engaged in ministry together in the local church and the LGBTQ community, each complimenting the gifts and graces of the other.
