Dr. Jeff Warren

Jeff grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has been the Senior Pastor at the Park Cities Baptist Church since 2010. He studied illustration and graphic design in undergrad and has a Master’s degree in Theology and a Doctorate, with a focus on Christian apologetics.

He’s a pastor, speaker, author, and artist who has a singular message of God’s amazing grace. He is a champion for biblical justice and seeks to unite the Church across racial, economic, and cultural lines to see a Gospel Movement across DFW, our nation, and the world. He passionately explores the intersection of faith and culture as he helps raise up the next generation of Christian leaders.

After seminary, Jeff joined Park Cities Baptist Church as Minister to Students and went on to serve in other ministerial roles, including Young Adults Pastor, Men’s Minister, and an Associate Pastor. Jeff was the founder and speaker of Fast Break, a ministry presenting biblical truth to marketplace leaders. He previously served at FBC McKinney. Under his leadership the church saw explosive growth, becoming one of the fastest growing churches in North America. Jeff came full circle when he returned to PCBC in 2010, as the Senior Pastor. Known for his high energy and contagious optimism, he says he has a single message- that he preaches in a million ways: God’s grace to all people. He pastors and preaches with a great sense of urgency in this cultural moment, as He challenges “Christians” to become disciples of Jesus and to grow in His love, to be with Him, and to become just like Him. One of his favorite things about being the pastor at PCBC is that he loves serving in an inter-generational church as, together, we seek to lead all generations to love Jesus.

He currently serves on the Executive Board of the Texas Baptists, the Board of Directors of East West Ministries International, and has also served on the Mayor’s Council on Faith, the Board of Trustees at Dallas Baptist University, the Advisory Board of ACT, the Chemical Awareness Council, the Pastoral Council for Initiative (a national movement of young leaders), the co-founder of 3e Unite (a city-wide collaboration of churches in McKinney), and he is the recipient of DBU’s Tom Landry Award for Leadership. Jeff has traveled the world preaching, teaching, and training pastors and next generation of leaders.

Jeff is married to Stacy have three adult children who are married, and they now have three grandchildren.
