Pastor Greg Stone, D.Min.

In 2025, Greg felt the call of God to start Messiah’s Hope Congregation. Before that, Greg served as the Pastor of Local Jewish Ministries for nearly a decade, where he was the primary speaker for First Friday Shabbat Services and oversaw Jewish ministries across ten campuses during a challenging and historic season.

Before stepping into Jewish ministry leadership, Greg served more than 20 years as a Pastor in a Gentile church setting. He continues to teach Bible and Messianic studies at The King’s University.

Greg grew up in the heart of American Judaism. He graduated from Hebrew High School and became Bar Mitzvah under Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg — the President of the American Jewish Congress and the Vice President of the World Jewish Congress. This formative upbringing mirrors Paul’s words when he said he studied under Gamaliel.

Greg served in the United States Air Force for 11 years as a Launch Control Officer, having command and control over 150 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. He authored the official training plan for other Launch Control Officers. Early in his Air Force years, Greg came to faith in Jesus. One year later, he married his best friend, Donna. They have remained best friends throughout their entire relationship. Together, they have five children and twelve grandchildren.

Greg holds a Doctor of Ministry in Messianic Jewish Leadership from The King’s University, as well as degrees in Divinity, Counseling, Human Resources, and Criminal Justice.

In 1993, Greg moved to Saudi Arabia for work, and in 1995, through the faithful witness of Gentile believers, he came to faith in Yeshua. In 1999, he joined Jews for Jesus as a missionary, serving honorably for 18 months before beginning his career with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2001. While working for the FAA, Greg continued evangelism ministry with Jews for Jesus and still serves with them today.

In 2006, Greg moved to Blue Springs, Missouri, where he attended Heartland Church and began serving in pastoral ministry. In 2015, he relocated to Roanoke, Texas, becoming part of a large non-denominational church.
