Speaker's Contact Details
Ed Grifenhagen
Pastor | Speaker | Author | Set Shepherd · Christian Film Foundation
As a pastor, Ed has utilized Christian films for years to impact people with the Gospel in his church and community. As a Set Shepherd, Ed has provided spiritual guidance and pastoral care for hundreds of cast and crew members on multiple Christian film sets. As the director of the Christian Film Foundation, Ed is passionate about championing a Christ-centered vision in filmmaking by equipping and inspiring the next generation of filmmakers. Ed spent three decades in the business world before transitioning into a career as a pastor, author, and speaker. He is the Lead Pastor at Church On The Trail in Columbus, GA. He and his wife founded M2540—a nonprofit ministry serving the homeless, which currently has over 40 member churches. He also co-founded Set Shepherds, which provides chaplains on film sets. Married to Susan since 1988, he is the father of two sons and the grandfather of four. Ed was raised in a devout Jewish home. However, for much of his life, he dismissed the Bible as nothing more than a book of fairy tales—useful for moral guidance perhaps, but hardly true. At thirty-five, he decided it was only fair to read the book he had so easily rejected. Disproving it, he assumed, would be simple enough. But God had other plans. On January 2, 2000, he opened to Genesis 1:1, spent the next year voraciously engulfed in God’s Word, and on January 17, 2001, he surrendered his life to Christ.
