Gull Lake Ministries

A message from Pastor Bryan Tema during our Adult Getaway Conference.

Bryan did not get a "calling" into vocational ministry until the age of 31.  He worked in the corporate world and in education for four years each prior to entering ministry.

Bryan and his wife Tammy are high school sweethearts from southern California. After working in the corporate world while getting his MBA, and then transitioning into education as a high school teacher and coach, God called him at the age of 31 into vocational church ministry. They packed up their two young children, Josh and Cassandra, moving away from family to Texas in order to pursue and receive his Master’s Degree from Dallas Theological Seminary.

While attending seminary, Bryan served as a Youth Pastor for Grace Community Church in Tyler, Texas. Upon graduation, the church asked him to launch their third multi-site campus, located in Lindale, Texas. Bryan served as the Grace Community Lindale Campus Pastor for 9 years before responding to the call from Gracespring Bible Church to serve as the Lead Pastor in the Fall of 2014.
