Lee Cruse
Senior Pastor
Pastor Lee Cruse and his wife Crickett have been pastoring for over 24 years and after pastorates at two other churches, they helped to found Grace Bible Church in 2004. Pastor Lee was saved when he was 14 years old and the Lord did a work in his life when he was 19 years old. It was at that time the Lord called him into ministry. He was working in the funeral business as a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. He left that business to go college to train for the ministry. He is a graduate of Southeastern Christian College with an Associate Arts degree in Bible; he then went on to Eastern Kentucky University and graduated there with a Bachelor Degree and a Masters Degree in Education and also Administrative Degree with 30 hours above a Masters. He also taught in the public schools for 30 years: 15 as a teacher and coach and 15 as principal. Pastor Lee and His wife Crickett have a passion for the salvation of souls and that people come to an understanding of God’s Grace that sets people free to live the life Jesus intended them to live. Crickett and Lee have 6 Children and 12 Grandchildren.
Casey Whisman
Administrative Assistant
I was born in Lexington and moved to Winchester during middle school and fell in love at a young age with this small town. After graduating High School, I eventually went to a small college in Lexington but God intervened and drew me back to the small town of Winchester where I fell in love with my husband, Brandon. We have a beautiful daughter, Kyleigh, and handsome son, Boone, along with our four fur babies.
God brought our family to Grace Bible Church in 2016 and we quickly understood why. We have heard the Gospel in a way we’ve never heard before. Grace quickly became home. Brandon became the worship leader and I got involved in the children’s ministry but have been blessed to have the opportunity to serve in multiple ministries within the church.
I love how God has allowed the path that he has for my past to mold me into the person I am today. I also love that he continues to mold me into the person He desires me to be.
