Craig Gross: Church in the Chicken Ranch

The Porn Pastor talks about ministry in Las Vegas.

Leadership Journal April 14, 2009

The Spring ’09 issue of Leadership journal should be arriving in mailboxes this week. The issue is called “UNHOOKED: Finding Release from Vices and Addictions.” We editors searched for ministers who were tackling addiction head on, whether in their churches or in parachurch ministries. And we’re pleased with the final product.

Our lead interview in this issue is with Craig Gross, founder of XXXChurch.com and, more recently, the Strip Church in Las Vegas. In the video below, Craig talks a little bit about the mission of the Strip Church and what it means to take the gospel into the darkness.
