As a young pastor in Southern California, Craig Gross began to notice a recurring theme among those he cared for – a struggle with pornography. Boldly and courageously, he decided to address the root of the problem, so he went to the porn industry to ask some questions. This passion led him to start XXXchurch.com, a website devoted to telling the truth about porn.

The XXXchurch website mixes the seedy with the sacred in an effort to raise the often taboo subject of pornography as a problem that needed to be dealt with. In the five years since it began, XXXchurch.com has had over 70 million visitors to the website and almost half a million people using X3watch Accountability Software. Craig has been featured in GQ magazine, “Good Morning America,” Newsweek, CNN, LA Times, Nightline and The New York Times, and his ministry is the subject of an award-winning documentary and a new reality TV documentary.

Craig has written five books. His latest book, Starving Jesus released in the fall of 2007.

Scott Hagan is a visionary leader for the 21st century, intent on inspiring and leading others to embrace unity and minister to the needs of the community that can only be met by God. He is an articulate speaker, gifted author, and experienced pastor communicating a compassionate and compelling message for ministry. Scott's personal mission is being a wonderful husband to his wife, Karen, and a loving father to their four children. He’s also an avid sports enthusiast, especially when his sons are involved.

After 10 years of pastoring a church he pioneered in Elk Grove, California and seeing it grow from 250 to 1,700 while "mothering" seven other churches, God called Scott to Michigan in 2001 to pastor Grand Rapids First Assembly. This congregation embraced his vision for the church to move forward as a life-giving, Spirit-filled, ethnically diverse, cell-driven church.

In the early part of 2005, Scott and Karen felt the call of God on their lives to once again return to church-planting. They are now the founding pastors of Mars Hill Church (marshillfamily.com) and continue to develop The John 17 Network, a ministry with the two-fold commitment to create unity between local churches and the planting of multi-ethnic churches across America and around the world.
