Ed Grifenhagen

Director of Christian Film Foundation

Ed was raised in a devout Jewish home in Columbus Georgia. 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.

Ed spent three decades in the business world before transitioning into a career as a pastor, author, and speaker. 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 grandchildren.
