Our Story

2cultivate exists to help you thrive in your ministry. Gerald Griffin and his wife Tammy have served in ministry together for over 40 years, with over 30 years as the founding pastor of Preston Ridge Church in Frisco, Texas. During that time, they experienced all the ups and down of ministry life, including the joy of seeing a church grow and thrive and the pain of loneliness and loss.

The Griffins felt God’s calling to now invest in the next generation of pastors and their families. They desire to share their wisdom and experience as a senior pastor with them and be a prayer partner and encouragement for them.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: we want to help pastors thrive in their God-ordained ministries. We do that through three ways: coaching, counseling, and training. All our services are covered by our generous donors and offered at no-cost to pastors and their families.

Our goal is to become a trusted resource and friend as you continue on your ministry journey.

  • Gerald is not only a gifted leader but also a compassionate mentor who deeply understands the challenges and aspirations of those in ministry. He is gifted at connecting with people on a personal level, seeing each individual as a person to be valued and understood, rather than a problem to be solved. Gerald possesses high levels of empathy and care, which enable him to forge deep and meaningful relationships within his community.
