Our Pastor

 “Reverend Greg Parr felt the call to ministry in 2004 when he began hosting a Sunday night worship service in his hometown church of Nocona, Texas.  At that time he attended classes and became a lay speaker for the church and even taught courses for the District.  He was then encouraged to begin the journey towards full-time ministry by starting the candidacy process for local licensed ministers in 2011.  In December of 2011, he began serving Vashti UMC as the youth leader. He completed licensing school in May of 2013, and has served as Senior Pastor to both Bellevue and Vashti United Methodist Churches since July of 2013.
   Greg is a native of Nocona, Texas.  He holds degrees from Cooke County College and DeVry University.  He is currently working in the Course of Study through Perkins and attends classes at the North Texas Conference Center in Plano, Texas.
   Greg serves with passion for the people of his congregations and desires relationships with them.  He strives to support, love and guide those that are entrusted to his care.
   Greg was baptized at the age of 13 at the Nocona FUMC by Merwin Turner, who had a very influential role in his life.  He and Melody were married in 1994 and they have raised four daughters – Katie, Rachel, Genna and Josie.  Rachel and Genna are both currently pursuing Religion degrees through Methodist Universities.”

"Love the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind. 
This is the first and greatest commandment. 
And the second is like it:
Love your neighbor as yourself."

                                                      --Matthew 22:37
