With a diverse range of experiences, Rev. Jeff Grenell enjoys sharing his knowledge of youth culture, church planting and pastoring in emergent culture, and various aspects of worship and worship leading. There is no lack of energy or creativity in Grenell's ministry to impact audiences of all ages.

Grenell has worked for 13 years as a student pastor, 5 years as a lead pastor, and 4 years as an evangelist. These positions have led him around the United States touching lives for Christ in the Assemblies of God, Church of God, and United Methodist denominations. Grenell joined North Central University's community in June 2006. He coordinates the many aspects of NCU's daily chapel program, represents North Central on the road as our university specialist, and teaches in the Pastoral Studies department.

Outside of speaking engagements, Grenell has carved out time to record four worship albums with his self-titled band. He has also coached high school basketball and soccer and is involved in crisis counseling in the public school system.

Whether speaking to a gym full of teenagers, instructing at an annual youth workers conference, or sitting at a piano leading worship, Grenell will inspire his audience. Crafting spiritual guidance and vision into lives for over two decades, Jeff Grenell has a passion for marrying biblical truth with modern culture.
