Brad Wieneke
Lead Pastor
Welcome to Grace! My name is Brad Wieneke, Pastor at Grace. My family and I have been attending Grace since 2000 and I began serving as Pastor in 2015. God has blessed Joanne and I with four amazing girls: Anna, Rachel, Brooke and Joy. God's call on my life was something I avoided and pushed aside for many years. I was busy building my own kingdom when God called me to build His Kingdom. Our goal is to build gospel advancing families at Grace. Families that will take the mission of Jesus Christ and make it their mission.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Nate Gillen
Youth Pastor
Welcome to Grace! My name is Nate and I’m the Youth Pastor here at Grace. My wife Kristi and I have four kids: Zac, Austin, Hayle, and Laney…and we are all in when it comes to advancing the Gospel. We moved to Joplin from Northeast Iowa and we love seeing God at work in Joplin as we share our passion of Jesus with our community. When it comes to working with students, I love watching their hearts transform and grow to love Jesus. To watch the love of Jesus change their hearts to love the church and the lost… and to see the power of the Gospel come alive within them as they reach the lost and change the world. There is nothing greater than this!
We are excited to get to know your family as we serve the community together!

Pam Hatcher
Church Secretary
Hi! I’m Pam Hatcher and I’ve been the secretary here at GBC since 2007. My husband Jason and I married in 2003, and we have four children and three grandchildren. I love being able to work with the people that come to GBC and help them in any way I can. I also serve on the Children’s Team. I get to help plan and execute the monthly activities for the younger children. I enjoy getting to spend time with the kids, seeing the joy they bring to others as well as the fun they have learning about God’s love and what it looks like to love others. Call, email or stop by any time… I’m here to help. I look forward to getting to know you!
