Our Founding Pastor
Market Street was blessed by the ministry of Dr. Victor (Vic) Casad, a retired elder in the United Methodist Church, who was instrumental in helping our congregation officially organize in April 2024. Though he had retired from active ministry in 2021 after thirty-eight years in the North Texas Conference he accepted the call to serve the newly formed UMC fellowship in the Tri-County area. Pastor Casad received his MDiv degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, Prior to retiring in 2023, Vic came back to the North Texas Conference and served Valley View UMC, Farmersville UMC, Aldersgate UMC in Carrollton, Christ UMC in Farmers Branch, and Stonebridge UMC in McKinney. His last appointment was for eight years as the District Superintendent of the East District of the North Texas Annual Conference. Vic received his Doctor of Ministry degree from Perkins School of Theology in 1994. Vic has also served as an Intentional Interim Pastor at Bells UMC and Northgate UMC in Irving.
Vic is married to Mary Brooke Casad. They have two adult sons and three grandchildren. After retiring Vic and Mary Brooke moved to Richardson. On January 25, 2023 he was appointed to serve as the Intentional Interim Pastor at Market Street United Methodist Church and served through July 1, 2024.
