Our Team

Graham + Leah

Graham is a passionate Kingdom Builder — preaching and leading from his teens. With over 20 years of church leadership experience, together, he and his wife Leah have pioneered, pastored, and led in multiple cities across the country. They love His Church and are committed to releasing His creative purpose in people of all ages. As Associate Pastor, Graham oversees Sunday Services, Teams, and Connections at MCC and, together with Leah, also leads our Creative community. They love the outdoors and regularly eat coco-pops. They have three sons, Flynn, Hunter and Harley and daily wonder how their dog Moose can shed so much hair!
