Rev. Todd Stinnett
Pastor
Rev. Todd Stínnett became Pastor of
Grace Baptist Church in February of 2003. Todd is a native of
Knoxville, TN and is the son of Larry and Ginny Stinnett. He was
blessed to grow up in a Christian home and was saved at the age of six.
Todd surrendered his life to full-time Christian service in the summer
of 1995 and has been involved with ministry to the local church since
that time. He has served in a number of different capacities, including
Minister of Recreation/Activities, Minister of Youth, and Pastor since
the fall of 2000. Todd received his B.A. from the University of
Tennessee, his M.Div. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary,
and is currently working on his D.Min. in Expository Preaching at
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY.
Todd married his wife, Charisma, in
December of 1998. She is a homemaker and mother to their five children
- Tanner, Nicholas, Madison, Shelby, and Benjamin. As you can imagine,
his hobbies include playing with children, sometimes wearing the hat of
a coach, and rooting for the Tennessee Vols anytime he gets a chance.
Once in a blue moon he will swing a golf club or two, but the PGA has
yet to come calling.
