About Our Pastors

Pastor Greg and Glenna Mayhorn came to Central Virginia in late summer of 1990 with their two children,
Jennifer and Daniel, to take the pastorate of Freedom Word Church — a small group of believers in need
of pastoral leadership and a fresh vision for the future. From the beginning, Pastor Greg believed in placing a strong emphasis on teaching, worship, and the move of the Holy Spirit. Through growth and blessing, the church relocated and built a new sanctuary in 2004. In late 2014, Pastor Greg published his first book,
Tongues: Speaking from the Spiritual Dimension.
Today, the ministry continues to grow  as Pastor Greg remains committed to the vision
and the future is more exciting than ever!
