Justin Kintzel Announced New Sr. Director of Worship and Production

Welcome Justin, his wife, Ashley, and their four kids to the Grace Church family!

March 16, 2020

After much prayer and consideration, Justin Kintzel has accepted an offer to become the new Sr. Director of Worship and Production at Grace Church. Justin and his wife, Ashley, have four children: Izzy, Nora, Jack, and Charlotte.

Pastor Troy Dobbs shared how God’s been leading in this process: “I’m not a fan of the Christian cliché, but I will say God’s hand has been all over this search process! Because of this, I have great confidence that Justin is ‘the guy’ for Grace Church. I’m also super excited about Justin because of his strong theology, his passion for Christ and the church, and his unique gifting to lead God’s people in worship. You are going to love Justin, his wife Ashley, and their four children!”

Justin Kintzel and his family are coming to us from Arvada, Colorado (a suburb outside Denver), where Justin has been the Communications and Worship Pastor at Applewood Baptist Church. Justin has also worked at Life.Church in Oklahoma and been on staff at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Justin earned his Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication Arts: Graphic Design from Liberty University and is working on a Master of Arts in Theology from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

“The way that God works is amazing!” Justin said. “All along this path, He has been preparing hearts, seamlessly working out previously impossible details, and giving confirmation after confirmation of what we’re supposed to do. As a family, we’ve been absolutely blown away at how, when God wants something to happen, He makes a way that ensures nobody but Him could receive the credit. We give all glory to God in this, and we’re so excited to be a part of the Grace Church family!”
