Our Team
Founding Pastor – Gene Glaeser
Gene has an unbelievably broad experience that brings relevant, 21st-century applications from a focus on Christ-centered preaching. Gene’s experience includes serving as the Founding Pastor of a successful church startup as well as serving as Sr. Pastor of a large church. Similarly, in business, Gene has filled Sr. VP sales roles in several startup companies as well as Fortune 500 companies.
Gene and his wife Kaye have a deep love for the people in the Highland Lakes area over their seventeen years here. Through prayer and conversations, it became evident the time was now to start a non-denominational Bible church in the area, including Horseshoe Bay and the growing subdivisions at Hwy 281 and Hwy 71. They are excited to be a part of this moment.
When not working on sermons, encouraging people or taking care of daily items for Lake Church, you will find Gene at the pickleball courts, golf course, or sneaking off to see his five grandchildren.

Brandon uses these skills, along with a well-trained band, to draw us closer to God, deepen our love for Jesus Christ and bond our congregation together into a community.
