Pastor Paul carries a deep conviction: that spiritual formation begins not in the spotlight but in the steady rhythm of faithful presence. As Executive Pastor at GT Church, he shepherds with a blend of strategic insight and soul-deep attentiveness—cultivating spaces where faith is not merely taught but lived. With over two decades of ministry leadership and a Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Ministry Studies from Moody Bible Institute, Paul integrates theological precision with pastoral care that touches both the head and the heart. His approach resonates with those who long for faith that walks rather than performs. Whether navigating budgets or crafting sermons, Paul’s joy lies in watching others awaken to their God-given identity. Outside of ministry, you'll likely find him reading by firelight, camping beneath open skies, or musing over films that stir eternal questions. He and his wife, LaRae, have been joyfully married for over 25 years and have cherished raising their four children in Decatur.
