In August of 2006, he became the Senior Pastor of Grace Bible Church of Fair Oaks near Sacramento, CA.

            Dr. Gregory has experienced the spiritual battles of ministry on a national scale – having been involved in standing for biblical authority under the scrutiny of those hostile to the Scriptural standards of marriage and morality.

            In 2005, Dr. Gregory’s book was published entitled: On the Level: Discovering the Levels of Biblical Relationships Among Believers. Co-authored with his father, this book is a treatment of the varying levels of responsibility that believers have to cooperate with one another for the advancement of God’s glory. He has also published exegetical commentaries on Matthew, Romans, 1 & 2 Peter, Jude, and 1 Samuel.

            Dr. Gregory has been a repeated chapel speaker at Bob Jones University, Calvary Bible College, and Appalachian Bible College. He has served as an adjunct professor in the Masters program at Applachian Bible College. In 2013, Dr. Gregoy helped to form the Grace Life Bible College in Webuye, Kenya. He currently serves as the Dean of Faculty and Curriculum Director for the school. He also started a Theological Institute at the Grace Bible Church for the men of the church.

            Dr. Gregory and his wife of 42 years, Patricia, enjoy five children and fifteen grandchildren: their eldest, Rich, married to Michelle and the father of three, is serving as the Lead Pastor at New Community Church in Wildwood, MO; Lauren, a mother of four is married to Ryan Hougham (GBC’s newest Elder); Abigail is a mother of three, and is a Registered Nurse married to Brett Smith who is serving Lord in Phoenix, AZ; Suzanna a mother of three is also a Registered Nurse and is married to Steven Andronovich in Charlotte, NC; and, William is married to Amelia with two children and living in Atlanta, GA working in Fiber Optics.
