Greg HolderGreg Holder

Unconventional. Artistic. Rooted in Scripture. Culturally engaged. Deeply personal. These words best describe what is regularly experienced at The Crossing, a fast-growing church in the St. Louis area where Greg Holder serves as lead pastor. Greg's passion is bringing the ancient truth of Scripture to light in fresh ways, calling those from an unlikely mix of spiritual backgrounds to consider what it means to follow Jesus in today's world. He is a co-creator of the Advent Conspiracy and co-author of a book by the same name which describes a global initiative challenging churches and individuals to celebrate Christmas with simplicity while giving outrageously to those in need. Greg is also a contributing writer for The Voice, a new translation of Scripture that tells the beautiful story of God's love and redemption of creation. He lives in Wildwood, Missouri, with his wife, Robin, and their two girls.
