Pastor Gregory was born in Danville, VA 12/12/39. He married Linda Carol Parrish on 3/31/63. The Lord has blessed them with four children: Pamela Lynn (with the Lord), Glenn Gregory (who serves as youth pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church), Mrs. Debbie Smith and Jonathan Gregory. Pastor Gregory was saved in November 1964, at the foot of his bed in Chatham, VA. The following year, the Lord called him to preach. He attended Piedmont Bible College and Greensboro Bible Institute.
In 1967, he accepted the pastorate of Piedmont Baptist Church in his hometown of Reidsville, NC. He pastored there until October 1978, when he accepted the call to pastor the Lighthouse Baptist Church of Blacksburg, SC, where he remains as pastor after 23 years of fruitful ministry. Ten young men, saved under the preaching of Pastor Gregory, have been called to preach the glorious gospel of Christ and are now serving the Lord as pastors or missionaries.
