On Episode 16 of the More of Us podcast, Reg Overstreet (Lead Pastor of Community Grace Brethren Church) talks about the ways he garnered credibility as a lead pastor during Covid, his experiences with church growth and hiring church staff, and shares his tactics on staying above reproach as a prominent figure in the community.

Reg Overstreet and his wife Sarah have their childhood roots in Warsaw before God moved their life's adventure across the country. After 15 years of pastoral ministry in Lakewood, Washington, Reg was appointed by Community Grace as its Lead Pastor in February 2020. Reg grew up in Warsaw, moved away in 12th grade to Florida and then to Washington State, and has now returned after 29 years with great excitement about the future that God holds for Community Grace.

Reg's education includes a B.S. in Business Administration at Clearwater Christian College in Clearwater FL; Master of Theological Studies at Northwest Baptist Seminary in Tacoma, WA; and Doctor of Ministry at Corban University School of Ministry in Salem, OR.

The More of Us podcast highlights pastors within the Charis Fellowship as they give their perspectives on life, pastoral ministry, and walking with Jesus. We trust as you hear More of Us, you'll see Christ among us.
