Brett Doninger
Brett has served as Senior Pastor at Grace Church since December, 2010. Born and raised on Evansville's west side, he is a graduate of Reitz High School. He met his wife Amy at the University of Southern Indiana and they married four years later. Brett and Amy left Evansville and moved to Clarksville, Tennessee when he accepted a position with Kraft Foods. This was the beginning of an amazing journey that involved the adoption of his daughter Hope, the birth of his son Parker, and a call to ministry. After receiving his call, Brett served as Children's Pastor for six years at Clarksville First Church of the Nazarene. In 2007 he and his family moved to Cape May, NJ to serve as Children's Pastor of Seashore Community Church of the Nazarene. Brett came full circle four years later as his family relocated to the west side of Evansville and he accepted the position of Senior Pastor at Grace Church of the Nazarene. Brett loves his family, all things football (go Titans!), and living within walking distance of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival.
