All About Greg
Greg Strand has been the EFCA's Director of Biblical Theology and Credentialing since 2002. He holds a Master of Divinity and a Master of Arts in New Testament from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is currently working on a Ph. D. from Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Heverlee, Belgium. He and his wife, Karen, have been married for 21 years and have three children, Michael (16), Elyssa (13), and Anna (7). Greg has served in pastoral ministry in the Evangelical Free Church of America since 1989, first as an associate pastor of adult ministries, and than as a senior pastor. Since 1995, he has served on the Board of Ministerial Standing and as the Dean of the annual EFCA Series of Theological Discussions. He is passionate about God-glorifying, Christ-exalting, Spirit-empowered ministry rooted in the Word. His prayer is that through this column and his God-given ministry, both hearts and heads will be encouraged and challenged as people are called to give themselves more fully to a faithful ministry of the Word, for God's glory, and the good of His people. *These answers are not intended to serve as definitive EFCA policy statements.
