  • Todd Grenert

    Associate Pastor

    todd@mccreno.org

    My name is Todd Grenert. I am married to my favorite person Danita Grenert. I was blessed with two sons (Hayden and Jaxson). I am a family man who loves the outdoors and pretty much all athletics. I am highly relational and my heart for people is my favorite gift. 

    I also work with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes where we care for and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with coaches and athletes in Northern Nevada. The fact that I get to work and coach with a heart for Jesus, makes this a perfect position for me.
