Gregory is founder and president of Joel Gregory Ministries, an international ministry of teaching, preaching, counseling and writing. He served two terms as president of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
He preached his first sermon in June 1964 at age 16 and recalls that "the ministry was nothing more than a strong sense of call, a vocation that came with more concreteness and certainty than anything else in my youth."
Gregory earned his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from Baylor and a master of divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has authored or edited eight books and in the last calendar year, preached or taught more than 200 times in 20 states, Greece and Oxford.
