Trenton Starchman was born and raised in Joplin, Missouri. He gave his life to Christ at a young age, but in third grade, his faith was profoundly shaped through an extraordinary and life-altering experience. His father suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, and after hours of waiting at the hospital, the family was told he had passed away. Fifteen minutes later, his father’s heart began beating again. This miracle deeply strengthened Trenton’s faith and instilled in him a lifelong understanding of Christ’s power, love, and sovereignty.

Trenton developed a passion for music in third grade and began playing guitar in seventh grade. Throughout middle and high school, he was involved in various school ensembles and faithfully served on his church’s worship team. After graduating high school, he pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Music Industry from Missouri Southern State University.

During his first semester, his pastor at First Baptist Church in Webb City asked him to serve as Interim Worship Leader. Through this opportunity, God clarified Trenton’s calling to worship ministry and deepened his understanding of the purpose and responsibility of leading others in worship.

While attending Missouri Southern, Trenton met his wife, Chloe, through Koinonia, a campus ministry. As the worship leader for the ministry, he invited her to join the team as a vocalist. Their friendship grew into a relationship, and they graduated together before entering a season of long distance. Trenton pursued a Master’s degree in Audio Technology from American University in Washington, D.C., while Chloe began working toward her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine.

During his first semester in Washington, God once again confirmed His call for Trenton to lead worship. In December 2023, Trenton and Chloe were married. In May 2024, they moved to Oklahoma City for Chloe’s medical clerkships. There, God led them to Grace Place, where they are grateful to worship and serve Christ alongside a faithful and welcoming congregation.
