Steve Grissom is the founder and president of Church Initiative, an organization that creates support group programs to help churches minister to people in life’s crises and challenges, such as divorce, grief due to a death, and single parenting.
Steve was personally devastated by a divorce and turned to his faith in Christ and his local church for help. He came to understand as he healed that churches needed a more comprehensive way to minister to people hurting from divorce. As a result, he began leading divorce support groups in his church, learning methods that would help meet the unique needs and struggles of a person facing divorce or separation. Steve later remarried, and he and his new wife Cheryl, who had also been through divorce, soon felt the Lord leading them to devote full time to divorce ministry.
In 1993, Steve and Cheryl designed and developed a biblically based support group recovery program called DivorceCare (www.divorcecare.org). Today DivorceCare is in more than 14,000 churches around the world.
From there, Steve realized the need for more resource programs to help churches minister to people in other life crises, such as grief due to a death. In 1994, Steve founded Church Initiative (www.churchinitiative.org), a ministry that develops and produces video- and workbook-based programs for churches to use to reach people at their point of pain. He is also coauthor of Divorce Care: Hope, help, and healing during and after your divorce.
Steve’s past professional experience began in the telecommunications and broadcasting industries. He founded several satellite communications companies and spent more than 10 years in television news management.
Steve and Cheryl live in Wake Forest, North Carolina. They have three daughters: Carrie-Christina (deceased), Shannon, and Heather. Steve enjoys photography and spending time with his grandchildren.
