UMCCG Leadership

Steve Gregory
Senior Pastor

Pastor Steve’s journey is one of dedication, service, and a profound passion for ministry. Hailing from Tucson, his early life was shaped by diverse interests from rodeo to distance running, followed by service in the Navy’s Advanced Electronics Program and a successful career in the IT sector.

Since joining the United Methodist Church in 2002, Pastor Steve has consistently demonstrated a servant’s heart. He’s held numerous lay positions, from coordinating Habitat for Humanity to leading mission ministries and serving as a Certified Lay Speaker and Lay Leader. His commitment to nurturing faith across generations is evident in his roles as a Sunday school teacher, VBS director, and Dad & Me Camp leader.

For thirteen years, Pastor Steve served on staff at Chandler United Methodist Church as the Director of Children & Youth Ministry and as Lay Person Assigned. He is currently expanding his theological knowledge at Claremont School of Theology. Pastor Steve is fueled by an enthusiastic vision for outreach ministries, a deep commitment to social justice, and a desire to build vibrant intergenerational programs that engage everyone from children to adults. His ultimate goal is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Pastor Steve is married to Lynn, his wife of 37 years, and they have a daughter in college.  

The Council of the United Methodist Church of Casa Grande (UMCCG) steers the church’s ministry and administrative bodies with insightful guidance. Dedicated to long-term strategic foresight, the Council ensures steadfast adherence to UMCCG’s inclusive vision—inviting everyone to embrace the path of Jesus Christ and unite in a community of faith, hope, and purposeful action. Regular council assemblies convene every month on the second Sunday, fostering collaborative decision-making and spiritual growth.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees plays a vital role in the UMC, ensuring the church’s physical and financial resources are well-managed and used in a way that aligns with the church’s mission and values. They are the stewards of the church’s assets and are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring these assets are used effectively and efficiently for the benefit of the congregation and the broader community.
