Our Team: Staff & Leadership
Staff
Our staff team is pictured here, and they’re all pretty great, but it’s important to acknowledge that all that is accomplished can only be so with the many volunteers who serve Castle Oaks, its congregation and community, in endless ways!
Art Greco // Interim Pastor (starts in May)
Art Greco is a retired (but VERY active and involved) Covenant pastor. He served in youth ministry for 10 years before becoming a church planter (Tigard Covenant Church), eventually finding himself as a lead Pastor in what might be termed, “turn-around” settings (Christ Community Covenant Church in Arvada, CO and Marin Covenant Church in San Rafael, CA).
Between serving in Colorado and Marin Art was Covenant Director of Prayer and Evangelism in the then “Department of Church Growth and Evangelism” (now called, “Start and Strengthen Churches”). Art Married Brenda Bell in 1978, a grraduate of C.U nursing school. They have 3 adult children, David (married to Emily), Joshua (married to Rohanna) and Becca (married to Anthony).
For fun, Art loves playing with his 4 grandchildren, rooting for the Warriors, Broncos, and Dodgers, and playing as much golf as his aching back, surgically replaced knee and shoulder, and terrible “outside-to-in” swing will allow. His greatest joy in ministry, though, comes when he can (1) encourage a pastor to realize the joy that awaits those who refuse to give up and (2) journey with anyone who desires to explore the depths and benefits of increasing yieldedness to the leadings of The Holy Spirit.
Art’s life mission statement: “To live in such a way that people quite lying, quit hiding, and quit dying.”
