About
Julian has been happily married to his wife, Lesley, for nearly ten years. They met in a small group and were married in Austin, TX. Julian Belk serves as the lead Pastor and Elder at Grace Life Austin Bible Church.
Before becoming a pastor, the Lord blessed Julian with a wealth of diverse life experiences. A former collegiate athlete at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Julian's discipline on the baseball field eventually led him to the professional independent leagues. Following his athletic career, he spent over two decades in the corporate sector, gaining invaluable experience in leading and developing people.
In 2021, Julian transitioned into full-time ministry, moving from Austin, TX, to Los Angeles to attend The Master's Seminary, where he graduated in 2025. While at Master's, he worked for Grace Advance, which is the church planting and revitalization ministry of Grace Community Church. It was his time at Grace Advance that stirred Julian's passion for church planting.
