Get to know Payton Gillespie
Associate Sending Minister
I was raised in a Christian home in Texas, going to church each week with my parents and my older sister Madison. While growing up I had an understanding of the gospel at a young age and the Lord saved me in Elementary School. Through my time in the students ministry at my church, I was taught what it looks like to follow Jesus and equipped to live that out in my spaces. The Lord called me into ministry when I was in 9th grade and I started doing year-round ministry as soon as I graduated high school in 2016. The Lord then called me to serve in England as a missionary for 3 years though UK-USA Ministries while also completing my undergraduate online in Business Administration. In 2019 I moved back to Texas to work in American ministry while also starting my Masters at Dallas Theological Seminary. In August of 2021, the Lord led me to Citizens church where I joined the staff as the Students Resident.
