History

My name is Craig Gross and back in January of 1999 I left my job as a youth pastor and began Fireproof Ministries with my best friend Jake Larson. We started Craig and Jake LIVE, speaking at youth events and eventually put on our own events across the country. A few years later after seeing so many young people being devastated by the effects of pornography I saw a need to create a safe place online where people could get help and the truth about pornography and in early 2002 launched XXXchurch.com.

The ministry of XXXchurch has gone all over the world. Over 100 million people have visited the website or read about the ministry online. We have over 1 million people using our FREE accountabilty software X3watch and now the ministry of Fireproof has become a launching pad for new ministry projects and ideas.

In the summer of 2008 my family and a few friends relocated the ministry to Las Vegas, Nevada.

You can't blame the dark for being dark, you have to blame the light for not shining on the dark is what I always tell people.

So here we are in Las Vegas. In 2009, we launched The Strip church, which is a ministry that reaches out to people who are visiting Las Vegas and those who work amongst the sex industry in Nevada.

I am not sure how you got connected to the ministry or what you know or don't know about what we do. First of all I want to say thank you. This ministry can not have the reach into peoples lives without your support. On the following pages you can read more about the different ministries of Fireproof and find out ways that you can get more involved or come experience our ministry first hand.

I don't believe you will run across another ministry that does as much as we are able to do with a little.

God Bless,
Craig Gross
