Pastor/Head of Staff

The city of Casa Grande, Arizona sits midway between Phoenix and Tucson, which means there is easy access to top-notch cultural, sporting, shopping, and entertainment options, and an outstanding medical community, but without the hassle of big city living. Casa Grande has impressive and growing economic development and also serves as a commuter hub for both of the larger metro areas. About 70,000 people live in or just outside the city, with over 45% being Hispanic, although the public schools are 65% Hispanic according to the most recent information. About 30% of the population are retirement age, attracted to Casa Grande by its not-too-big city size, affordable housing, and proximity to the nearby metro areas.
