Briar Eaton

Student Pastor

Hey everyone! My name is Briar Don Eaton, I am the Student Pastor here at Grace Place. I was born and raised in Choctaw, Oklahoma. I never really left the area (as you can see now that I am here), but also never had a desire to leave. I love my community.  I am 24 years old, married  with one child (Banner) who was born in April of 2023, and another one on the way due in December 2024 (Currently don't have a name). I love to watch the Baltimore Ravens and play fantasy football! Obviously living where I do, I also love to hunt and fish!

I went to and wrestled at Choctaw High School, I graduated in 2018. After being in college for a year I ended up going into part-time ministry and became a wrestling coach at Choctaw. I then eventually graduated with my bachelors from the University of Central Oklahoma. From 2019-2024 I continued to coach and do ministry. Along the way in 2023 I also became a roofer, mainly to have another opportunity to share Jesus with Non Church People! I live with the mindset that everyone has a Job and everyone has a way that they make their money. So no matter how you make your money in life, you have a Job that God has given you. For me, that job is to share the love of Jesus.

I met my wife Baylee in 2016, we shortly after meeting began dating and eventually got married in 2022! Baylee is a teacher at a school called 12 Academy. Baylee along with family started the school in the fall of 2023. The school is a Bible based school that has a Proverbs 22:6 focus of making sure all children are brought up in a way that they will not depart from! Before starting the school Baylee worked in Mid-Del elementary schools for two and a half years right out of college.

 I would love for you to bring your student(s) to Grace Place to have some fun, and grow in their relationship with our Lord and Savior! My vision for youth ministry is simple. Show students who Jesus is and help them develop their relationship with him (While having fun in that process) ! From that point we are able to make disciples who make more disciples! I hope to see you soon!
