Senior Pastor - John Tracy
Born and raised in East End, Arkansas, Pastor Tracy knew that he was called to the ministry at a young age. He began preaching at the age of fifteen and credits his mother's fervent prayers with inspiring him to serve the Lord.
He and his wife, Sandra, have been married for 26 years and will be celebrating their 13th year of service to Otter Creek Assembly in March of this year. Together, they have a son named Brett, who recently got married. They couldn't be more proud of their new daughter-in-law, Amy.
When not working at the church, Pastor Tracy enjoys hanging out with his wife Sandra, going fishing, and playing golf. Sandra loves the hanging out part, but would rather shop than go fishing!

Associate Pastor - Lee Denton
God is faithful and his love endures forever! That is what Lee has found to be most true in his walk with the Lord. Lee Denton surrendered his life to the Lord at the age of ten and began his journey with God. He surrendered into the ministry at eighteen, unsure of the exact calling, whether music or preaching, but he had been called. He continued to pursue both, singing with Heaven's Harmony Boy's for six years, with whom he cut his first album, while serving as youth pastor at a local church.
Lee married his beautiful wife Lauren in June of 2003. She is currently attending UAMS College of Pharmacy and pursuing a Pharm. D. degree. They have a son, Alexander, who was born in April of 2007 with minor complications, however God showed his faithfulness and Alexander is now totally whole.
Lee graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a Bachelor of Arts in music and a minor in Christian Ministries. He is presently working on his second album entitled "Redemption". His heart is to see people set free from bondage and pain through the power of God's word, and to see them engulf in worship of the one true God, who is most worthy to be praised!
