Our Leadership

Brian Allen

Elder of Preaching

My name is Brian Allen and I’m the lead pastor/elder of Providence Baptist Church in Beaumont, TX. I’m married to an amazing lady named Kendall Allen who loves God, loves people, and loves me and our four children (Adley, Micah, Joanna, and Lydia). I grew up in Jasper, TX and later graduated from Texas A&M where I met Kendall (who’s also an Aggie). I moved to the Beaumont area after graduation and worked for ExxonMobil for 10 years and now work for Indorama (previously Huntsman) in Port Neches, TX. I believe God gave me faith and saved my soul when I was six years old through the discipleship of my parents, grandparents, and extended family. I have taught Bible studies and led small groups since college. But in 2016, God gave Kendall and I a son with a severe heart defect. He lived 77 days in the CVICU at Texas Children’s Hospital. Through his short life God revealed so much about Himself to us and worked powerfully through us. He sustained our faith through our deepest sufferings. And out of the ashes of losing a son, He placed a calling on my life to help people know this God through devoting my life to implanting the truths of His word deep into people’s hearts. Along with God’s work through my son, in 2015 God providentially placed me in an office right next to Ryan Thompson who was a bi-vocational pastor planting Cornerstone Church in Nederland, TX. God used Ryan to disciple me and show me the beauty (and suffering) of church planting. He used Ryan to give me a category I never had in my mind before: Pastoring a church bi-vocationally, while sharing that shepherding responsibility with other elders. Since early 2018 we’ve been praying about and moving toward planting a church in the Beaumont area. God has brought together an amazing core team and has provided a godly co-elder in Erik Morgan. We are continuing to train and equip our team to plant Providence Baptist Church in Beaumont, TX, in the fall of 2020 if the Lord wills. I praise God for the privilege and responsibility of leading a people toward infinite joy forever in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit!

Erik Morgan

Elder of Missions, Connections, and Discipleship

I’m an elder here at Providence Baptist Church in Beaumont, Texas, where I’m honored to serve alongside Brian, Greg, and Gerald in leading and shepherding the flock God has entrusted to us. I’m blessed to be married to my amazing wife, Katelyn, whose grace, love, and hospitality are a constant encouragement to me and she is a wonderful mother to our three wonderful children: Essie, Ezra, and Emmitt.

Beaumont has been my home since 2004, and I’m a proud graduate of Lamar University. I’m a small business owner and love spending time with my family (hunting and traveling) and building connections within our church community.

Greg Lee

Elder of Finance, Life Together Groups, and Discipleship

My name is Greg Lee and I am a lay elder at Providence Baptist Church in Beaumont, TX.  I am married to my beautiful wife, Chelsea, who fears the Lord, is an excellent wife, and who is the most amazing mother to our three children, Britton, Avery and Harrison. I grew up in Lewisville, Tx, went to Texas A&M, Whoop!, where I studied civil engineering. I met Chelsea at Texas A&M and we lived in Houston after we graduated and got married, but soon after felt God leading us in 2012 to Beaumont (Chelsea’s hometown) to church plant. I am so thankful to be a part of a church who earnestly seeks the Lord in all aspects and love serving alongside our church family and fellow elders.

Gerald Thomson

Elder of Prayer Ministry and Deacon Ministry 

Gerald joined the core team for Providence Baptist in 2020 after a short membership at our plant church, Cornerstone in Nederland. He was married to his wonderful wife Yolenis in Providence Baptist in 2021 and later becoming an elder at Providence Baptist Church in 2023. Gerald has 2 grown children (Randy and Brandy) and currently lives in Beaumont. Gerald is retired from ExxonMobil after 38 years. He was saved by Jesus Christ at the age of 47 in 2006 at Calvary Baptist Beaumont and a year later started serving in the planet 56 department teaching 5th and 6th grade boys for 12 years.
