Leadership

Pastors + Staff

About Our Pastors

Pastor Greg and Glenna Mayhorn have faithfully served as the senior pastors of Freedom Word Church since moving to Central Virginia in 1990 with their two children, Jennifer and Daniel.

With a strong emphasis on Bible teaching, worship, and the move of the Holy Spirit, they have led the church through seasons of growth—including the construction of a new sanctuary in 2004.

In 2014, Pastor Greg published his first book, Tongues: Speaking from the Spiritual Dimension and continues to provide spiritual leadership and vision.

Pastor Glenna leads our W.O.W. Women’s Ministry and prayer ministry, sharing God’s love, offering encouragement, and spiritual counsel with others.

Together, they remain dedicated to the vision God has given them and committed to equipping believers and building a thriving church family.
