Gregg Zackary
Gregg was raised in East Texas and married Tina Bryce in 1985. A proud father of four, he has been called to equip and empower God's people to fulfill their purpose for over 40 years — licensed in 1980 and ordained in 1988.
In his free time, Gregg enjoys family, travel, reading, exercise, and cycling on his road and gravel bikes.
Since joining Mobberly Baptist Church in 1995, Gregg has served in numerous leadership roles, including Associate Pastor of Education and Outreach and Senior Associate Pastor. He also founded Hope Road Counseling, serving as Executive Director from 2018–2020. Today, he serves as Oasis Pastor for Oasis in the Pines — a ministry dedicated to strengthening Christian leaders through spiritual rest, renewal, and reflection.
Rooted in faith, education, and compassion, Gregg is committed to guiding others in their spiritual journeys and fostering resilient, thriving communities.
