크레이그 그로쉘
Craig Groeschel 창의적이고 적극적인 목회 활동으로 주목받는 차세대 목회자다. 크레이그 그로쉘이 담임하는 라이프교회(LifeChurch.tv)는 미국 최초로 멀티사이트 교회(multi-site church)를 시도한 교회 가운데 하나다. 1996년 오클라호마 주 에드먼드의 작은 차고에서 시작한 이 교회는 불과 10년 만에 2만여 명의 성도로 초고속 성장을 했다. 현재 13개 지역에서 매주 수십 번의 예배가 드려진다. 라이프교회는 2007년 미국에서 ‘가장 영향력 있는 교회’ 5위, ‘가장 혁신적인 교회’ 1위로 선정되며 교계의 뜨거운 관심을 받고 있다.
그러나 크레이그 그로쉘은 초대형 교회의 담임 목사로 불리기보다 주님의 참된 제자가 되길 원한다. 그는 오클라호마시티대학에서 마케팅을 전공하던 시절 회심한 그리스도인이다. 그리고 1991년 결혼한 사랑스런 아내 에이미의 자상한 남편이자, 하나님이 주신 여섯 천사들의 좋은 아빠다. 빌리 그레이엄과 빌 하이벨스를 본보기로 삼아 현실적인 삶의 문제에 관한 성경적인 해답을 전하는 데 매우 열정적이다. 오늘도 그는 유머와 감동, 카리스마 있는 설교로 온·오프라인을 통해 전 세계 영혼을 만나고 있다.
현재 오클라호마 주 에드먼드에서 아내 에이미, 그리고 여섯 자녀와 함께 살고 있다.
저서로는 「카존」, 「목사로 산다는 것」, 「생명력 넘치는 교회」,「일상의 거룩함을 회복하라」,「일상의 거룩함을 회복하라」가 있다.
As the Senior Pastor of Life.Church, Craig provides teaching, leadership, and guidance for the church as a whole. Following a vision God gave him for a different kind of church, he and a handful of people launched Life.Church in 1996.
