Originally born in Chattanooga, TN, and a lifelong United Methodist, she is passionate about helping cultivate loving and welcoming church spaces for all people. She graduated from Carson-Newman University in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Religion and a minor in music, and later attended Candler School of Theology at Emory University, earning her Master's of Divinity in 2021.

She has served in the Holston Conference since 2020 and was ordained as an elder in full connection in June 2025. In her free time, Pastor Gracie enjoys singing, watching musicals and movies, and taking walks in the neighborhood with her husband Sean. Pastor Gracie and Sean were recently married in December of 2025. Both Sean and Gracie, along with their cat, Dunkin', are excited about this new chapter of ministry in Wytheville.
