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!

He married his high school sweetheart , Brooke.  They are both very excited to work with the youth and see Christ be glorified in the Joplin Community.
