About Greg & Susan
In 2024, Greg and Susan embraced a new chapter in life by joining the staff of GTN. A University of Texas at Austin alumnus, Greg holds a Bachelor's degree in Music and a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. Adding a friendly collegiate rivalry to their dynamic, Susan holds her own as a Baylor University alum equipped with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
Greg accepted Christ in college through the ministry of the Navigators. Post-college, Greg's path initially seemed to be leading directly to missions, evidenced by a transformative 10-week ministry in Haiti. However, God had other designs. The following year, while teaching string instruments in a junior high school, Greg met Susan, an English teacher. Their shared a passion for education and faith intertwined, leading them to marry during his first semester at seminary.
Together, during seminary they committed to serve ten weeks in El Salvador ministering at Iglesia Nazaret alongside a DTS team. Post-seminary, the couple founded Mansfield Bible Church in 1986, nurturing its growth from two families to a congregation of over 500. This 36-year journey as lead pastor enriched Greg with invaluable insights into church planting and leadership which he eagerly shares with Majority World pastors.
Greg's last fourteen years of working at MBC have been marked by many international teaching opportunities to indigenous pastors. Those include preaching in chapel at Word of Life Seminary in Brazil and creating and maintaining pastor training for five years among the indigenous Quechua in the vicinity of Ecuador's Chimborazo Volcano. His teaching engagements for the last three years have spanned from large-scale conferences in larger cities in Tanzania to smaller sessions with pastors in remote locations. Greg’s aim in every opportunity is to empower pastors by teaching - including Doctrine, OT and NT Surveys, and Bible Study Methods.
Meanwhile, Susan's mission-driven spirit has flourished through her involvement with Samaritan’s Purse. Her leadership in Operation Christmas Child propelled their church team at MBC to assemble over 2,800 gift boxes in 2023, reflecting her dedication to global outreach.
Now, Greg is poised to invest more of his time teaching indigenous pastors, fostering their growth and helping to equip them in their pastoral ministries. Married since 1980, Greg and Susan's partnership in life and faith continues to flourish, blessed with a shared commitment to service.
