Dan Grindstaff
Staff Evangelist
Dan Grindstaff is a second-generation Southern Baptist preacher. His father was a pastor for 25 years and Director of Missions for 13 years. Dan and his wife Terri have been married for 34 years and raised five sons, all of whom are living for Christ.
Dan earned his B.S. degree from Texas Tech University and his Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He started the ministry as a street evangelist, then began traveling, preaching all across the United States and in foreign countries. When his sons were little, he and Terri felt he shouldn't be away from home so much, so he pastored for 17 years while their boys were growing up. It was a good decision. They are five godly young men.
Dan has served his denomination in several capacities. He has been Director of Evangelism for local Baptist associations three times; in fact, he serves in that position now in Cross Timbers Association in Texas . He has been on the State Evangelism Task Force, State Executive Boards and the Committee on Committees of the SBC. Dan chaired the Communications and Denominational Relations Committee of the Transition Team which took the Southern Baptists of Texas from a fellowship to a newly constituted state convention and then served on the first executive board of that convention.
After their last son graduated from high school, Dan and Terri felt the unmistakable call back into itinerant evangelism, with the full affirmation of his church, which even now continues to support his ministry.
Dan preaches Spiritual Awakening Conferences and evangelistic meetings in the US and abroad. He is also heavily involved in Operation GO Mexico, a church planting movement of the International Mission Board.
