MEET THE TEAM

Lead Pastors - Saxton and Lacey Odom

Saxton and Lacey became the lead pastors of Grace Pointe in July of 2026. Together, they share a deep love for Jesus, a heart for people, and a passion for helping individuals and families experience the transforming presence of God.

Saxton has served in pastoral ministry for more than a decade and is an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God. Having received a Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Ministry from Lee University, he is involved currently in furthering his education at Oral Roberts University. Pastor Saxton has also been deeply involved in hospice ministry for the last two years. 


His ministry is marked by practical biblical preaching, visionary leadership, and a desire to see the local church become a healthy, Spirit-filled community where people can encounter God, discover their purpose, and grow as disciples of Jesus.


Lacey serves alongside Saxton with a heart for counseling, discipleship, women, children, and families. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Ministry Leadership with an emphasis in Counseling from Lee University and also serves as a volunteer in hospice ministry. Her compassionate approach to ministry reflects her desire to help people find healing, hope, and restoration through Christ.


Saxton and Lacey were married in 2015 and are the proud parents of Luke and Laurel. As a family, they enjoy serving together, homeschooling, spending time with friends and family, and building meaningful relationships within their church and community.


Their prayer is that Grace Pointe will be a place where people from every background can belong, grow, heal, and become everything God has called them to be.
