Our Leadership
Sr. Pastor
Dr. Jeff Gaskill
When Jeff is not studying God’s Word, preaching, teaching, reading or writing, you will probably find him spending time with Becky and their family, walking, watching movies, leisurely hanging out – just enjoying being together. Frequently you will find Jeff on the sidelines of a football game or wrestling event cheering on coaches and athletes as both sports have been an enjoyable part of he and his family’s life. Most of all, Jeff enjoys seeing people come to faith in Christ and their lives transformed and change to walk in His image.
Elder
2023-2025
Brett Rash
Brett helps lead the congregation of Grace Bible in serving as a non-vocational elder and under-shepherd of God’s flock of GBC. Brett and his family have been a part of the congregation here since 2020. He is married to his wonderful wife Angel. They have three adult daughters, an adult son, and two younger sons still homeschooled by Angel. Brett vocationally works as a utility contractor, but has experience as a truck driver and transportation dispatcher.
Brett came to faith in Christ at the age of 25 through the influence of some friends who invited Angel and him to church. Together they were living, doing life how they thought best, thinking that their “good works” would somehow get them to Heaven after this life. Both of them were eventually convicted by the Holy Spirit of their need for a savior. They came to place faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross and began a journey as followers of Christ.
Brett and Angel have a wonderful family, and since coming to faith in Christ have been diligent about raising their children in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. They work hard on seeking to shepherd and shape the hearts of their children. They believe that character is important in their own lives and the lives of their children.
