Brent Reese
Next Steps / Administrative Pastor

Brent joined the Grace staff in February 2004. As our
Next Steps/Administrative Pastor, his focus includes
helping adults take the next steps in their spiritual
journey. This is accomplished through programming
and activities targeted at connections, small groups,
discipleship, caring, and equipping one another for
serving. Brent also holds responsibility for our
administrative functions at Grace including budgeting,
finance, building maintenance, facility scheduling, and
maintaining our computer equipment and network.

Prior to coming to Grace, Brent spent over 20 years
working and consulting in the public and private sector
in the area of information technology, holding roles
involving computer programming, project leadership,
strategic planning, and management.

If you asked those who know Brent best about his
giftedness, you would most likely hear words such as
discernment, leadership, and giving. Brent is also a
gifted teacher, and utilizes this area as both a Sunday morning speaking pastor and Next Steps class leader.

Some of Brent's favorite activities include time with his
wife Denise and four children, reading, landscaping,
gardening, and following Illini sports.
