About Kregg Gábor

Pastor, writer, and lifelong student of history—seeking the places where faith, story, and ordinary life meet.

My name is Kregg Gabor. For more than thirty years I have served in the United Methodist tradition, walking with congregations through seasons of joy, grief, doubt, and growth. I’m a pastor, husband, father, and an incurable reader of history.

Alongside parish ministry, I write stories and reflections that try to take both faith and the real world seriously. My first novel, Paleon: Echoes of an Empire, grows out of that same desire—to see how God’s grace threads its way through ordinary lives, complicated histories, and unfinished questions.

I am an orthodox Christian serving in the United Methodist Church, convinced that truth is bigger than any one tradition and that grace is at work in more places than we notice. I’m a realist optimist—I believe the world is deeply broken and yet deeply loved, and that Christ meets us right in the middle of that tension.

Whether I’m preaching, teaching, or writing fiction, I want to help people notice God’s presence in the ordinary: in families and conflicts, in history and culture, in the small decisions that quietly shape a life. I don’t have all the answers, but I love walking with people as we learn to ask better questions.

Over the years I’ve served churches in Connecticut and New York, most recently at Poughkeepsie United Methodist Church. My ministry has included preaching and worship leadership, teaching, pastoral care, and trying to help congregations navigate seasons of transition and change.

I’m particularly interested in how churches can live faithfully in a post-COVID world—recovering community, telling the truth about our exhaustion, and learning to see change as an opportunity for deeper discipleship rather than just another threat.

I hold a B.A. in History from Western Connecticut State University and a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School. My historical interests range from Byzantium and the early church to American religious history.

Those studies shape both my preaching and my writing. I care about how doctrine and story meet, how the church has wrestled with its own failures, and how Christians today can be rooted in the ancient faith without retreating from the modern world.

GaborHome is the central place where my work comes together—ministry, writing, and a small cabin in New Hampshire that has become a quiet space for prayer and creativity. From here you can find sermons and worship resources, learn more about my books, or simply follow along as I keep trying to pay attention to what God is doing in ordinary life.
