ABOUT GREG & HIS VISION FOR MINISTRY AT FBC SAN ANGELOABOUT GREG & HIS VISION FOR MINISTRY AT FBC SAN ANGELO

Greg’s love for the Lord and passion to share His gospel with everyone was clearly apparent when we first met. Evangelism and missions is in his DNA, just as it is in FBC San Angelo’s DNA. Greg will undoubtedly bring his enthusiasm and passion with him, and I know it will be infectious and contagious- a godly pandemic we desperately need. His wife, Amy, also has the same enthusiasm and passion for discipleship and missions. She is eager to see how the Lord decides to use her here in San Angelo.

We continually prayed for direction and wisdom during this process, this was God’s choice to make. Greg has a genuine heart for the Lord. We are going to be blessed by his and his family’s presence.

God has, without a doubt, given us a shepherd to lead our family of believers. It has been an amazing time to watch the Holy Spirit work. This was a wonderful committee, and we are so blessed to have the Breedlove family.

Greg has unmistakably been led to us by the Holy Spirit. His excitement for God’s people and reaching a lost community has been evident from our first visit with him. I know he and Amy, along with their children, will be a great blessing to our church and San Angelo.

In the process, vision is difficult and prayer for discernment is essential. But now, looking back over the whole search process, I can see how the Holy Spirit was nudging the committee toward Greg Breedlove as our pastor, and the Holy Spirit has confirmed this selection in multiple ways.

What impressed me about Greg is his desire to serve his congregation through building relationships and also for his heart for missions. He and Amy will make a great team as they work for kingdom building, both here and abroad. The committee appreciated and felt all of your prayers and believe they have been answered!

Greg was born and raised in Texas. He is the youngest of four siblings to Paul and Maribeth Breedlove. His father led him to Christ, and he was baptized when he was 9 years old. Greg graduated from McKinney High School and played collegiate tennis for two years before transferring to Texas Tech University. He graduated from Texas Tech with his degree in Business Finance. Greg would also meet the love of his life Amy while at Tech!

Soon after graduation, Greg and Amy were married. They moved to San Antonio where Greg accepted a distribution center management job with HEB. Greg worked at various levels of management with HEB in San Antonio, San Marcos, and Corpus Christi for 5 years before surrendering to God’s call to full-time ministry.

In 2005, Greg and Amy responded to God’s call in faith by moving to California where Greg earned his Master’s of Divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (now Gateway Seminary). Upon graduation, Greg served full-time at Valley Baptist Church in San Rafael, CA. Greg and Amy would spend the next ten years of their lives serving God and growing their family in California. In 2015, the Breedlove family moved to Meadow, Texas where Greg has been serving as the pastor at FBC Meadow for 6 years.

Greg lives out the call to serve his family daily. He spends much of his free time helping with his kids’ steer and pig livestock projects. Greg also enjoys good BBQ , playing with his 3 Great Danes, tinkering on cars, sports, outdoor activities, and the fine arts. Most of all, he loves spending time with his best friend Amy. They recently celebrated 20 years of marriage!

Greg is very passionate about helping Christians be on mission for Christ both on the local level and beyond. He is also passionate about serving the local church, and guiding it to be a place of multigenerational worship and discipleship.

Greg’s primary focus during the first season of ministry will be to get to know the people who make up the church body of FBC San Angelo and to learn about their passions, ministries and individual callings. With this information from the church, Greg will work with church leadership to begin developing a more specific vision for the church that captures its unique identity - the identity that God has given FBC to reach San Angelo and beyond with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

COMMENTS FROM PASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE MEMBERS

THE BREEDLOVE FAMILYTHE BREEDLOVE FAMILY

Amy grew up in Brownfield, Texas and attended Texas Tech University where she earned her degree in Social Work. She worked as a hospice social worker for several years until she and Greg began growing their family. Christopher, Ellie, Jackson and Katie were placed into Greg and Amy’s hearts and lives and are native Californians, but Greg and Amy got them to Texas as soon as they could!

Amy is an avid reader and has passed on this passion to her four children. She loves cooking, adores her three Great Danes, driving her vintage Beetle Bug, and hanging out with Greg.

God has used Amy in a variety of ministries over the past 11 years, but her most recent ministry role has been to disciple women of many ages. Amy is passionate about missions, discipleship, troubled teen girls, and having people in her home.

Amy is truly excited to come to FBC San Angelo! She is looking forward to creating new friendships, joining in the work God is already doing, and seeing where God desires to use her for His Kingdom growth.

Christopher (14) has many diverse interests. He loves fishing, showing pigs competitively, coding computers, running cross country and playing basketball. Christopher has a playful personality and is always laughing and joking around.

Ellie (12) is a young lady of many interests. She loves showing steer competitively and learning how to do new craft projects. Ellie is a hard worker, has a tender heart and is incredibly thoughtful.

Jackson (10) is a man on a mission! He is quite serious and is always thinking about the next time he will be riding his bike, jumping on the trampoline, playing Roblox on the computer, or drawing his next comic strip.

Katie (8) loves all things girl! Pink, makeup, rainbows and unicorns! She is incredibly creative and enjoys reading, crafting, and drawing. Katie is a great helper and loves trying new things.

FROM THE PASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEEFROM THE PASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE

We could not be more excited to announce that we have called Greg Breedlove to serve as the pastor of First Baptist Church San Angelo. Surveys completed by the congregation early in the search process helped us complete a pastor profile which was made available as we posted the position. Greg matches that survey as well as anyone can. We wholeheartedly believe that God led us to Greg, and Greg believes the Lord led him to us. What a wonderful example of the Lord’s leadership and direction, as only He can provide, to get both parties to the point where we are now.

We invite you to look over this brochure and get to know Greg and his family on paper, then come meet them in person and hear Greg preach. We think you will be as excited about him and his ministry as we are. God is not through with FBC San Angelo - join us as we make great things happen for the kingdom, in our neighborhoods, in San Angelo and around the world!
