Meet Our Staff

Pastor
Trent + Jessica Black
Lead Pastors
Trent and Jessica were voted in as the Lead Pastors of Greywood Heights in March 2024. They have served in multiple ministry roles including Executive Pastors, Youth Pastors, and Children’s Pastors. Trent began his ministry in Paris, Texas in the Paris Church of God as the Kids/Youth Pastor there. Jessica grew up in a ministers home but began her ministry right here at Greywood Heights as the Kids Pastor in 2014. After their marriage in 2016, they accepted assignment in Monroe, Louisiana at House of Prayer, International, as the Youth and Children’s Pastors. Jessica also was the Media Director in that season. Trent and Jessica moved back to Van Alstyne in 2020 and became the Executive Pastors here at GHC. Trent is an Ordained Bishop and Jessica holds her Exhorter’s License in the Church of God. Their passion is to see lives radically changed by the Gospel of Jesus, no matter someone’s background or story. 

Trent and Jessica both hold full-time positions in a company in the DFW area outside of the church. They are the proud parents of Kallan, Ryder, and Brooklynn. Outside of ministry, they enjoy theater musicals, reading all different genres of books, and spending time with their family. The greatest joy of their lives is raising their children in the ways of the Lord.
Pastor
Lance + Mary Baker
Pastor Emeritus
Lance and Mary Baker grew up in the Van Alstyne area and served as youth pastors at Greywood Heights in the 1980s. Over the years, God called them to ministry opportunities across the United States within the Church of God, serving in places such as West Texas, New Mexico, Washington, and Louisiana. In May of 2013, they became the lead pastors of Greywood Heights Church and faithfully served as Lead Pastors until transitioning leadership to Trent and Jessica in 2024. Lance is an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God, and Mary continues to serve the church by assisting with administrative responsibilities.  

Outside of church, Lance and Mary both hold managerial positions at a Fortune 500 Company in the Dallas metro area. They have two grown children, but their newest pride and joy is their 6 grandchildren - 4 boys and 2 girls. In their free time, Lance and Mary enjoy being outdoors and time with their family.

Pastor

Jared and Brittany previously served at Greywood Heights as Youth Pastor and Children’s Pastor. Brittany stepped out of the Children’s Pastor role in 2023, and joined Jared in the Youth ministry he had been leading since 2019.

Brittany facilitates our volunteer scheduling, and Jared leads our live stream/audio teams. Both Jared and Brittany are credentialed ministers in the Church of God and have a passion for helping people find their place in the body of Christ and live out their faith.
