Rod Fultz
The Lord brought Rod and his family to Gainesville / Haymarket in December 2001 specifically for the purpose of planting Grace Church. Rod married his lovely bride, April, in 1992, and God blessed them with four (now adult) children and five grandchildren. Rod served as a church-planting missionary in Florida, Texas, and Africa prior to coming to Northern Virginia. He is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDivBL 1992) and Old Dominion University (1985). Rod's heartbeat is to increasingly see disciples made (through the church) who in turn make disciples in the world.
Craig Daniell
Craig grew up in a Christian home in south Arkansas. By God’s grace, he heard the gospel at a young age and God saved him. As he grew older, God gave him more desire to study the Bible and help others follow Jesus. He pursued his undergraduate degree at Ouachita Baptist University (2015) and then achieved his Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2023). In 2015, Craig married the love of his life, Kelsi, and the two have one daughter. Craig and Kelsi moved to Northern Virginia in early 2017, and they came to Grace Church in August 2020.
