NEW PASTOR OF STUDENT MINISTRIES
WELCOME, COREY GUMMELT!
In a special called church meeting on February 10, VRBC members unanimously approved Corey Gummelt as VRBC's new Pastor of Student Ministries. Corey began his role with VRBC on February 11.
Corey is a 2013 graduate of East Texas Baptist University. He obtained his Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Dallas Baptist University in 2017. Corey comes to us from Parkway Hills Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, where he has served as the Student Pastor for the past five years. Corey and his wife, Tenley, have been married for more than five years. Tenley is on staff at Trinity Christian Academy as a counselor. In his spare time, Corey enjoys playing sports (a big fan of Baylor athletics), biking, traveling, hosting game nights, and spending time with his wife and two dogs.
A special thank you goes to the Pastor of Student Ministries Search Team and Church Council for their dedication and tireless efforts over the last many months in seeking God's will as they searched for the person ordained to fill the Pastor of Student Ministries position.
