Trey gilmore | Lead pastor

Born and raised in Pennsylvania (in Steelers country), Trey got his undergraduate dual-degree in Christian Ministries & Youth Ministry/Adolescent Studies from Judson University. Shortly after, he took a position as the Student Pastor at Vail Christian Church in Tucson, AZ. While there, his heart for church planting and the local church was developed. This stirred him to pursue a Master degree in Church Planting & Multiplication from Wesley Seminary (Indiana Wesleyan University).

While finishing this degree, his wife, Sarah and him decided to roadtrip the east coast to find a network which would help them plant a church. They got connected with Movement Churches Network in Columbus, OH, and the rest, as they say is history. Trey completed a 1-year residency in 2019-2020, and planted Contrast Church in an official capacity in 2021.

Trey is a big fan of curating bonsai trees, fly-fishing for trout, eating Joya’s tacos, and sitting on the beach reading a good book.

Trey and Sarah have three kiddos: Junia (5), Rhoda (3), and Phinehas (1).
