Wade Allen is the preacher at the Church of Christ at Grissom. He cares deeply about communicating Biblical truth with practical wisdom and clarity—plus the occasional dad joke and pop culture reference that may or may not be from this century.

Wade also teaches at Louisville Bible College and Summit Theological Seminary, where he equips future ministry leaders to preach, serve, and survive the occasional awkward conversation.

He earned his B.A. in Practical Ministries from Bluefield College of Evangelism and his M.A. in Practical Ministries from Cincinnati Christian University. 

Wade is married to Amanda (the real MVP), and they have one daughter, Lilly, who keeps life joyful, loud, and slightly glitter-covered. When he’s not preaching or teaching, Wade enjoys watching sports, hanging out with his family, and ranking the best Star Wars movies like it’s a spiritual discipline.

He finds joy in the lightbulb moments when faith and real life connect.

At the end of the day, Wade’s mission is simple: help people follow Jesus, live with purpose, and laugh along the way.
