Pastor Paul and Debbie accepted the role of leading GT Church in the summer of 2020. In the midst of a global pandemic and with the American Church facing a whole new style of ministry, Paul and Debbie stepped up to turn GT Church around. Their devotion to the church and community has helped to see GT Church grow in reach and in mission. The next 18 months will surely be something to look forward to.

​

Pastor Paul has been an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God since 2006.  He has served as a youth and associate pastor for 12 years before transitioning into his next role as the District Youth Director for the Illinois District Council.  

 

While serving at the district office, he also served as Operations Director for the district and CEO for Adult and Teen Challenge Illinois.

 

In August of 2020, he and his beautiful wife Debbie accepted the call to become Lead pastors of GT Church in East Peoria, IL. Pastor Paul has a desire to lead people into a vital relationship with God, become Biblically engaged, live in community, and serve to see our world reached for Jesus.
