Dr. Tucker Bailey and family
In 2010, Grace Baptist Church of Nashville began as a mission church of Grace Baptist Church in Louisburg, NC. Pastor Wes Bailey had a burden to reach the people of Nashville, and God opened the doors for GBC Nashville to be started. Early services were held at Nashville Elementary School.
As the church grew and became established, they moved into a storefront, which offered more privacy than did the original meeting location. A few months later, the Lord led Pastor Wes Bailey’s son, Tucker, to accept the position of pastor.
In October, 2013, Dr. Bailey and other faithful attendees signed the church charter, establishing Grace Baptist Church as an independent church instead of a mission church.
The Lord continued to bless, and in August 2015, GBC moved into a building of its own on one of the main streets in Nashville.
Dr. Tucker Bailey is married to his wife, Liz. They have four children. Dr. Bailey earned Bachelor’s degrees in Missions and Bible and minored in Creation Apologetics. He received his Master’s degree in Theology in July 2015 and his Doctor of Theology in June 2026.
Dr. Bailey and the members of Grace Baptist Church remain excited to be used by the Lord.
