Gregory Mason, Youth & Music Minister
Pastor Greg Mason became a follower of Christ at age 17. Since then, Micah 6:8 has become a guiding principle for his marriage, his family and his ministry . . . βHe has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God.β
Since his calling to ministry in 1992, he and Tina have pastored in St. Louis, West Plains, and here in Doniphan since 2005. Greg serves at First Church as worship pastor, and along with Tina, they minister to students in grades 6-12.
Born and raised in Illinois, Greg and Tina were married in 1985. They have three married children and 10 grandchildren.
