Senior Pastor Jack Mason   Send e-mail to Pastor Mason Pastor Jack Mason and his lovely wife, Nina, have been at the helm of Grace Assembly since 1966 and has been the pastor here since his graduation from Central Bible College. In that time, he's taken the people of Grace to his heart and truly considers himself to be a shepherd, appointed by God, to oversee this flock. Nina has been equally busy, running the church daycare program since it started in 1980, after receiving her certification in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Immaculata College. This dynamic and compassionate duo form and define much of what Grace Assembly is, and hopes to be.

Leadership Resources

Articles & Resources for Church Workers

• Starting a Greeter Program
  Four years ago I accepted the challenge of evangelism chairperson for our church. One of the first programs the pastor and I developed was the Sunday morning greeter program.
• Motivating the Right Person into the Right Ministry
  One of the greatest challenges for most leaders is selecting and motivating the right people into the right ministry positions in hopes of minimizing turnover and frustration. Even in the smaller church with limited personnel, it is important to coordinate people and ministry as much as possible.
• “I TRIED, BUT NO ONE EVER CALLED ME”
  “I tried, but no one ever called me” are painful words for a leader who has much work to do and not enough people willing to do it. These words are painful for the person who wanted to contribute, but was never called. These are also painful words for a person who is committed to helping people connect and contribute in meaningful ways within the church.
