/// Founding Pastor of Seacoast Church ////////
Greg Surratt is the founding pastor of Seacoast Church, which was planted with the goal of reaching unchurched people in the Charleston area. Greg led Seacoast as it grew from meeting in a movie theater to having its own building, and from one campus to many, as the church became one of the first in the world to pioneer the multi-site approach to the weekend experience. Today, Seacoast has a dozen campuses throughout South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as a thriving online community. Greg continues in his role as Founding Pastor while his son, Josh, serves as the Lead Pastor of Seacoast Church. Over the past several years, Greg has grown increasingly concerned with the mental health of pastors. In 2019 Greg founded The Pastors Collective to address this growing crisis and opened The Retreat at Church Creek in 2021 to provide a refuge for pastors to rest and make lasting connections with others. Greg is a co-founder of the Association of Related Churches (ARC), which is a global church-planting initiative that has established over 1,000 churches worldwide since its founding in 2000. He is the author of the books IR-REV-REND and Re-visioning, and The Endurance Factor, as well as a contributor for Outreach Magazine, Ministry Today Magazine, and Charisma Magazine. Greg is married to his childhood sweetheart, Debbie, and together they have 4 children and 14 grandchildren.
