Trey & MOnte Powell | Lead Pastors

Pastor Trey is no stranger to Griffin and the Center Point Family having called this “home” for 15 years when his father, Bishop Tommy Powell, was pastor (1995-2010). He and Monte met as children and grew up attending and working summer camps together. On January 9, 2010, they were married at GCPC. After years of praying for a child, on September 10, 2020, they were blessed to adopt a beautiful baby boy named Kai Thomas Powell.

Pastor Trey and Monte are passionately dedicated to the ministry of the local church. Having both been raised in pastor's homes, they bring a deep understanding of what it means to fully commit oneself to the care and spiritual development of not only the church body but the local community. With over 12 years of full-time ministry experience in both large and small church contexts, they also bring an understanding of what it takes to implement and develop ministry that will help a church grow and thrive. Early on in their ministry, they were determined to live out these two non-negotiables: to preach the Gospel unashamedly and love people fiercely. Their belief is that by committing to do these two things, the Lord will honor those efforts in all they do for His Kingdom and they so excited to lead, serve and build the local church for His glory!

Pastor Trey holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry and is an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God (Cleveland, TN).
