NorthWord Church’s “POEs”

Our congregation sometimes affectionately refers to our church leaders as “POEs.” That acronym is short for Pastors, Overseers and Elders.

Clayton Grissinger, Teaching Pastor.  I first felt the desire to pursue ministry while studying at Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado. After graduating, I went to Denver Seminary to earn a degree in theology. During that time, I met the people of NorthWord Church and during my final year became their pastor-intern while also teaching at a Christian elementary school in Denver for two years after graduation.

With much prayer, my wife, Bethanie, and I decided to pursue pastoral ministry. Once again, NorthWord Church came into our lives when the church leadership approached and retained me as Associate Pastor. Verse-by-verse teaching through the Bible along with doing life together are what matter most to Clayton and make NorthWord Church a place that I and my family love.

My hobbies include reading, being outside, and spending fun time with my wife and our children.
