Our Leaders
Pastor, Elder, and Trustee, Roger Gounaud
Pastor Roger graduated from college in 1964 with a degree in electrical engineering and a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. The Air Force sent him to graduate school to learn “Guidance and Control” – a fancy name for “rocket scientist.” He graduated in 1966 and spent a total of 25 years as a commissioned officer, retiring in 1989. He spent the next 11 years as a program manager for a defense contractor working on a variety of information technology programs. In 2000, he and his wife, Karen Jo, believed they were being called to the ministry and they moved to South Carolina to attend Columbia International University. He graduated from CIU in 2003 with a Masters of Divinity degree. He was ordained at SouthEast Community Church that same year and served as associate pastor at SEC until 2012 when he assumed the role of senior pastor. Pastor Roger brings an “engineer’s mindset” to the preaching of the Gospel. He carries on the motto established by previous pastors at SEC –What Does The Text Say?
