Greg grew up in a wonderful Christian family, with two parents who love the Lord very much and made sure that he heard the good news of salvation at every opportunity. At 9 years old, he professed faith in Christ as his Dad shared the gospel yet again and he was baptized shortly thereafter. For the next few years, he grew as a Christian, still attending church, and then went to Yale University for undergrad studies. Those were good years spiritually, mostly because he had to learn like never before how to defend his faith. It was also during those years that the Lord began to call him to Christian ministry. After Yale, Greg spent some time serving in a few different churches, went to seminary, got married to Moriah, and had three awesome kids: Justin, Jack, and Juliet. Greg was called to serve Third Avenue Baptist as the Senior Pastor in 2010.

I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. In December of 1976 I was accepted to serve with Biblical Ministries Worldwide in a church planting ministry. Arriving in Uruguay, South America in January 1980, I served along side missionary couples in this endeavor. After 25 years or so of learning, growing, and serving, God placed on my heart the need to be intentional in passing on what I had learned. He has opened several doors giving me opportunities to invest in other ladies. Aptas para Servir (Ladies able to Serve), a ministry to the local church helping to train ladies to serve in their own churches, has given me the opportunity to work one on one with different ladies, as well as groups of ladies. In 2016, I was asked to teach the ladies at our Bible college here in Uruguay. Along with these ministries I also serve in church planting in rural towns in the interior of Uruguay. I am delighted to serve our Good God, who has saved me by in infinite grace, made possible through the sacrifice of our Savior.
