Main Speakers
Founding Pastor
Mark never stops looking for and embracing new techniques that reach a changing culture in meaningful ways. As Senior Pastor for more than 25 years, Mark planted and has led Granger as a unique church through continuous growth within the constraints of a denominational system. Mark is considered one of the best storytellers in America and he’s not afraid to tackle issues the Church considers “hands-off.” He is truly one of a kind, committed to the local church and to moving God’s anointed to the place God’s appointed.
Executive Pastor
For 17 years, Tim’s leadership has helped Granger connect with people who think church is irrelevant. He has done this through the creative blending of architecture, strategy and technology. He’s acutely tuned in to popular culture and is instrumental in balancing operations, building creative teams and inspiring artists to brand each message series and sharpen the weekend experience. He’s co-authored the Simply Strategic book series using humor and practical principles to equip churches and ministry leaders and in 2012 published Vision: Lost & Found to relay the story of Granger’s journey toward a new vision.
Pastor of Life Mission
As teaching pastor at Granger, he spends a hefty portion of his time in mission work—both here in our own backyard and around the world— planting churches, developing partnerships, equipping leaders, assisting the poor, caring for the sick and educating the next generation. He has taught Purpose-Driven Church to church leaders throughout the world and has been a main session speaker at Saddleback’s Purpose- Driven Church Conference.
