Greg is the founding pastor of Seacoast Church, one of the early adopters of the multi-site model. Located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, Seacoast has been recognized by various media as an innovative and influential thought leader in future strategies for church growth and development. Seacoast combines a unique approach to highly participatory worship with a heart for missional evangelism. Greg calls their weekends a “practical, spirit filled, but non-spooky, yet kind of mystical worship experience, done in multiple locations, very inexpensively.” Sounds a little strange, but it seems to be working. Seacoast currently has over 10,000 people attending 29 weekend worship experiences in 13 separate locations. Greg is also a founding board member of the Association of Related Churches (ARC), a church planting network that has given birth to 60 churches in the last 6 years. Greg is married to a very hip grandma, has 4 children, 2 grandchildren and enjoys reading, photography, fishing, golfing and rooting for lost causes…specifically the Cubs, Broncos, and Gamecocks.
