A Wonderful Life?

Rev. Grant Palma has been the Associate Pastor at United Methodist Church in Grapevine and since 2016 and works with New Members, Missions and Young Adults.

He grew up in South Arkansas and East Texas. He graduated from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas with a degree in Biblical Studies, and attended seminary at Perkins School of Theology where he received a M.Div. He is an ordained elder, and previously served as an associate minister at Arlington Heights UMC in Fort Worth.

His wife, Samantha, works as an attorney for Allstate Corporation in Dallas, and they have a daughter and two dogs.

He likes movies, especially North by Northwest or any Hitchcock film.

He loves being a minister and is passionate about leading the church in reaching out to the least, the last, and the lost both around the world and within the local community.

He enjoys racing cars with friends from college in a series called The 24 Hours of Lemons.  He says they spend more time wrenching on their jalopy than racing.

He likes to read crime novels, travel and spend time with his wife and daughter!
