WORKS CLOSELY WITH: Director of Students & Young Adults; Granger Students & Young Adults Staff

At Granger Community Church (GCC) we are committed to building a world-class staff of team members devoted to the high calling of ministry. We all acknowledge that this is not "just a job." Team members use their God-given S.H.A.P.E. to advance the cause of Jesus and represent both Him and GCC wherever they are.

Each team member is loyal to Lead Pastor Ted Bryant, other staff and lay leaders while living as a passionate advocate of GCC's mission, vision and values.
