Youth Pas­tor

Grant Gehrke

Grant Gehrke Grant’s been attend­ing KBC since 1984, caus­ing havoc through­out the youth min­istry, before becom­ing a vital mem­ber of the lead­er­ship team within the youth. He is pas­sion­ate about empower­ing youth to come to a pos­i­tion where they see their full poten­tial in Christ and the free­dom that that brings.

Before ven­tur­ing into the big wide world of min­istry, Grant had been involved in Chris­tian out­door edu­ca­tion, which enabled him to util­ise out­door adven­ture to min­is­ter to youth in a unique and mem­or­able exper­i­ence. More recently he com­pleted a Dip­loma of Chris­tian Min­istry as an Intern through the KBC Min­istry Train­ing Centre. He’s mar­ried to Kelly and has a 1 gor­geous girl, Isa­bel, born July ‘06.

Grant loves life but there are a few small lux­ur­ies that stand out, just to name a few: Snow ski­ing, golf, moun­tain bik­ing, fish­ing (basic­ally, the out­doors), Krispy Kreme donuts, Indian, Thai, Turk­ish food (you guessed it, he loves food). A few menial facts about him: People He’d love to meet: Ten­z­ing Nor­gay, Nel­son Man­dela, Michael Jordan, Adam Sand­ler. Top 3 movies of all time: Prin­cess Bride, So I Mar­ried An Axe-​​Murderer, The Man From Snowy River. Favour­ite books: The Lion the Witch and the Ward­robe, The Power Of One, The Heav­enly Man.

Grant also loves to travel (he remem­bers places he vis­its by the food he eats) and would love to one day be involved in cross-​​cultural mis­sions, to include a stint overseas.
