Our Leadership
The Scripture teaches there are two offices in the local church, Elders and Deacons.
Grace Bible Church is led by a board of Elders whose purpose is to shepherd the spiritual well-being of the congregation and to oversee the day-to-day operation of the church organization.
Our Board of Elders:

Wally Vinson: Hi! I am Wally Vinson, the interim pastor at Grace Bible. I am an Orthodox Christian Presuppositionalist (if that even is a word). I am a follower of Jesus, husband to Tara, and daddy to 3 daughters. I am an avowed underachieving middle child suffering from a short man’s complex. I love anything written by Jonathan Edwards, JRR Tolkien, and Simon Sinek. I love bad golf, Star Wars, and hanging out with my girls. Vocationally, I have served as a minister in various capacities and places for 34 years. I have a BS in History from Austin Peay State University and a Masters of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I love Jesus Christ as revealed in God’s Word and I love to see others fall in love with Christ and His Word.

Collin Fearn (Collin@gbctn.org): began attending Grace Bible in 1997 with his wife Sofie, and they became members shortly after that. Their family grew to include three sons, Tim, Ian and Nate, who have enjoyed growing up in the church community. Collin and Sofie have served in a number of roles over the years, including leading small group Bible studies and serving in the church’s Sunday School programs. (Their sons would add that they have mowed LOTS of yards for busy military members.) Collin has been an elder since 2015.

Chad Wilkerson (Chad@gbctn.org): was voted in as an elder in June 2014. He and his wife, Cayla, have been members of Grace Bible Church since 2009 after attending consistently since 2006. They have two sons – Asher and Elliot. Chad serves on the building committee as well as plays the bass for the worship team.
The Board of Deacons exists to assist the Elders in the shepherding of Grace Bible Church.
