Craig Groeschel Career and Life.Church

Groeschel and a few others formed Life Covenant Church in a two-car garage in 1996. He later told Business Week that he began the process by conducting non-churchgoer market research and then designing his church in response to what he discovered.

Groeschel’s unconventional approach was successful, and Life Covenant quickly increased in size, eventually becoming the largest Protestant church in the United States (as of January 2019) with 32 Life Church campuses.

When Groeschel’s fourth child was born in 2001 and he was unable to attend the Sunday service, he began using video to give some of his sermons, discovering that the videos were well-received by his congregation.
In 2006, he launched Mysecret.tv, a website where users may anonymously confess their secrets.

On Easter Sunday 2007, Groeschel began offering his services in the virtual world of Second Life.

Video instruction, multi-site locations, online church services, and other innovations have all been pioneered by Life.Church for the global Church.
