Lance joined the staff of Grace Church in August of 1998. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University (B.A.), Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M.), and Fuller Theological Seminary (D.Min.). Married since 1994, Lance and his wife Ellen have two children, a son, Taylor, and a daughter, Anna Katherine. As the last name might imply, Lance and Ellen are not originally from Texas. However, since relocating to Texas, Lance and Ellen have been able to maintain a commitment to make an annual pilgrimage to Louisiana to see their beloved LSU Tigers play in Tiger Stadium. They are proud that both of their children have developed a love for seafood even though it can be hard to find here! Lance works with young adults from high school graduation until they reach their late-30s. In addition, he works with helping individuals identify their God-given passions and equipping them for individualized ministries, our annual adult mission trip to Jamaica, and our Summer Nights@Grace program.
