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 relocated to Corona, California, carrying a God-given vision to establish a life-changing ministry that would break through traditional religious barriers. That vision began to take form when members of the local community asked Pastor Fred to lead a Bible study.
In 2000, Pastor Fred fully stepped into his calling by joining the teaching ministry. By 2002, he was leading a Bible study group of 12 members, and in 2003, Corona Church of the Open Door was officially birthed. Today, Pastor Fred leads CCOD as a vibrant, multicultural ministry with a non-traditional approach focused on advancing the Kingdom of God.
Over the years, Pastor Fred, alongside the CCOD family, has been committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus. Their intentional focus remains on strengthening communities and serving the underserved — both locally and around the world. They have organized numerous outreach events throughout Corona and Norco, while actively partnering with missions in major cities and abroad.
Pastor Fred’s heart is for people to experience the love of Christ, build meaningful community connections, and be equipped to walk boldly in the will of God. He is a graduate of the Cottonwood School of Ministry. Together with his wife, he continues to invest in the next generation through weekly teachings and Connect Groups, raising up future leaders who will impact the world for Christ.
