Let me personally say “thank you” for taking this time to be on our website. I know there are lots of options in the world and in our community when it comes to churches. My guess is that you are trying to figure out more about our church and myself before you visit, and I do not blame you! So, I am glad you are here.

I have Oklahoma roots that are deep. I was born in Oklahoma City and now pastor the church I spent most of my childhood growing up in. I say that to say – my passion for people living in Oklahoma mirrors my upbringing. My desire for our community is to grow and thrive spiritually.

At the age of 5, I trusted in Jesus Christ to save my soul from Hell and forgive me of my sins. (By the way, that is the best decision anyone can make!) Upon graduating Skiatook High School in 2008, I enrolled at Heartland Baptist Bible College in the fall of that same year. In 2012, I graduated with a Bachelors in Biblical Studies from Heartland Baptist Bible College as God burdened me to return to Grace Baptist Church. From 2012-2014, I served as ministry intern under the leadership of previous pastor Bill Field. On September 7th, 2014, Grace Baptist Church called me to be the next pastor effective September 28th, 2014. As the pastorate changed hands, the transition was seamless which is a testimony to the continued hand of God upon Grace Baptist Church.

It is in this church that I also married my lovely wife, Mallory, in 2012. In 2013, we welcomed our son, Casen, into the world. Since then, God has also given us three girls: Callyn, Campbelle, and Carrigan.

These are exciting times to live in, and I am confident the Lord is going to use this church as a catalyst for hope in the greater Tulsa area. I would like to personally invite you to come join us in any of our weekly services or watch via livestream.

Gratefully,

Pastor Zach Klassen
