LEADERSHIP

Bo Grace

Senior Pastor

At the age of 30, Bo Grace transitioned from a successful business owner to answering a vocational ministry calling. Closing his business, Bo, alongside his wife and two children, relocated from Jackson, TN to New Orleans, LA. There, he pursued theological education at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, earning his Master of Divinity degree. During his time in New Orleans, Bo served as the Minister of Evangelism at First Baptist Church of New Orleans.
Following this, Bo served at Harrisburg Baptist Church in Tupelo MS, and then Emmanuel Baptist Church in Athens, AL before accepting the position of Pastor at Waypoint Baptist Church (formerly Broadmoor Baptist Church) in 2004.
Bo's commitment to preaching and teaching the entirety of Scripture, regardless of cultural trends, reflects his unapologetically conservative theological stance. With a deep-rooted passion for evangelism, Bo wholeheartedly embraces pastoral ministry and demonstrates genuine love for the Waypoint family.
One of his favorite Bible verses is Romans 8:1 "Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus."
