Meet Our Pastors

Pastor Fred Griffin

Pastor Fred Griffin is the Senior Pastor and Founder of Corona Church of the Open Door (CCOD). In 1998 he and his family moved to Corona, California where he envisioned God’s plan for him to build a life-changing ministry that would transcend customary religious traditions. The vision for Corona Church of the Open Door became clear when people in the community asked Pastor Fred to teach a Bible study. In 2000, Pastor Fred tapped into his purpose when he joined the body of Christ in the teaching ministry. In 2002, he led bible study with 12 members and by 2003 Corona Church of the Open Door was birthed. Today, Pastor Fred leads in a non-traditional church setting with a multi-cultural mission and vision. 

Over the years Pastors Fred and the CCOD community have been devoted to being the hands and feet of Jesus. They have an intentional focus on building up communities and serving those who are underserved locally and globally. They have hosted numerous community outreach events throughout the city of Corona and Norco and continually partner with various missions in other major cities and countries. His desire is for people is to know the love of Christ, get connected with community and be equipped to do the will of God. He is a graduate of Cottonwood School of Ministry.
