Biography[edit]

Wallace graduated from Hampden–Sydney College and married his wife, Lisa, in 1985. They have three sons and, as of 2024, five grandchildren.[1] After being involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Hampden-Sydney, Wallace spent 19 years on staff with InterVarsity in North Carolina and Texas,[2] serving as regional director for Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.[1]

After leaving InterVarsity, Wallace spent 11 years in pastoral ministry in evangelical churches in Austin, Texas.[2] He obtained a master's degree and a doctorate in missiology from Fuller Theological Seminary.[1] In 2015, he became executive director of the Fuller Center for Spiritual Formation at Fuller Seminary, where he developed Fuller Formation Groups, a program that matched Fuller resources with cohorts of local church members.[1][3]

Wallace was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church in North America in May 2019 at Christ Church in Austin.[4] In 2023, Wallace was elected to serve as bishop suffragan in the ACNA's Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others. Archbishop Foley Beach consecrated him to the episcopate on September 9, 2023, at Trinity Anglican Church in Atlanta.[5]
