Grace Community Church is blessed to have a two full time Pastors, both graduates of The Master’s Seminary.
Pastor Doug V. Heck is a graduate of Moody bible Institute in Chicago (B.A.) and The Master’s Seminary (M.DIV), where Dr. John MacArthur, Jr. is President. He graduated Magna Cum Laude and served as President of the Student Government. He has also pursued further graduate level studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Graduate School in Chicago and post-graduate work at The Master’s Seminary, with an emphasis on Expository Preaching. Doug has served as Director of Tulsa-based Bible Teaching Services and Christian Counseling Ministry. Doug has been the teacher of The Quest of the New Testament radio program, formerly heard on KCFO for 7 years, having served as Senior Pastor for 23 years and in full time ministry for 29 years.
Our Associate Pastor is Chris Wiley. The Lord brought him to GCC in May of 2019. He graduated from TMS in 2008 with a Diploma of Theology. He has been in full time ministry since 1999. Pastor Chris has been married for 26 years to Hayley and they have been blessed with 5 children ages 24 to 13, 3 boys and 2 girls. Below is Pastor Chris’ personal testimony on saving faith in Christ Jesus.
“I had no religious affiliation growing up except to attend an occasional VBS in Southern Baptist Churches as my mother would take us children. I had no interest in church or the things of the Lord. By the time I was around twelve, I heard about the “youth” ministry at the First Baptist Church and the trips they got to go on. I was interested in that so I started attending. The youth pastor asked me if I would like to go to heaven as opposed to hell. I said heaven was the better choice and he agreed. I prayed a prayer, was baptized and then lived fourteen years under the delusion that I was saved. In 1998, I was at a “revival” meeting and understood by the preaching of the Word of God that I had not repented of my sins and trusted in Christ for salvation. The Holy Spirit weighed heavy on my heart and mind. The Lord gave to me the gift of salvation and fruits in keeping with repentance. Since then, the Lord has given me a love for my wife that grows all the time, many years of ministry experience, and the grand opportunity of seminary training at The Master’s Seminary. Praise God for His wonderful and matchless grace.”
I gave your contact to a hurting man that lives in Broken Arrow. Looking for Godly pastors. He said he will call you soon. Thanks for your ministry.
Is the men’s Tuesday night bible study accessible to non-members of GCC?
Yes, It is open to non-members of GCC as well. I am so sorry to have taken so long to see your comments. Thank you for reaching out.
Thank you sir.
Is there any way to get ahold of Doug for counsel? We are in western Oklahoma.
Do you have a local church that you regularly attend Cody? If so, we would encourage you to contact your pastor for counsel first.
Let us know and know we are praying for you.
Don’t y’all have a pastor who is just under Doug who is also a graduate from the Master’s Seminary. He’s actually from somewhere from Tahlequah, correct?
Hey Jeremy,
Yes, Chris Wiley is the new Associate Pastor of GCC.
