Our Pastor

  • Brother Dan Cozart was the founding pastor of Grace Baptist Church in October of 1980.  Since then, Brother Dan, along with Nora by his side, poured their lives into the ministry of the church for forty-three plus years until his retirement in 2023.  Without question, they faithfully serve the Lord by faithfully caring for this particular portion of his floc here in Tyler.  To use words that the Lord Jesus used in Luke 9:62, they together, "Put their hands to the plough" of Gospel ministry and the spiritual care and nurture of this church family, and "never looked back."
