I’m being serious here… Christmas is closer than we think. Why the big deal? To me, Christmas is a real chance to connect with folks who will not enter a church building at any other time. Even moreso than Easter, Christmas services are is a thing that families do together, and so lots of non-church-attending family members get dragged along…. I want to be able to offer them a glimmer of hope that this Jesus thing might actually be true. God will need to do the heart work on them, but I want to make sure that we’re holding the door open as wide as we can. So – today – I’m thinking about Christmas…

Hmmm - well, let's see... I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be. Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi. It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...

If you're looking for consulting - especially on weekend services, team leadership or multi-site strategies - I'd love to help.
