I’m an evangelist. By that I mean that my passion in the church is reaching out to people who don’t know God yet. It is my driving passion. It is the Great Commission. However, it is not the only purpose of the church – there’s also the second half of the Great Commandment which tells us to love others. Our duty includes caring for those in need. I am laser focused on our weekend services, but I acknowledge the need for our leaders who make our Compassion Ministries happen. Recently, we collected backpacks for kids in the inner city of Indy. It was an incredible thing to see how many people pitched in to help those kids. It took caring people to organize and make it happen. People with THAT as their passion. That’s a reminder to myself – those of us who serve in weekend worship services are important – but we’re not the only ones…

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...
