GUEST FOR TUESDAY, JULY 28 TH AT 7:30PM
Dr. Steve Grcevich, Child Psychiatrist and Founder of Key Ministry
Stephen Grcevich, MD is an accomplished physician who for many years has balanced an active clinical practice in child and adolescent psychiatry with teaching, research and a personal call to help churches minister with families of children and teens who have experienced “hidden disabilities” – significant emotional, behavioral, developmental or neurologic conditions lacking outwardly apparent physical symptoms.
Dr. Grcevich served as the founding Board President of Key Ministry in 2002, and currently serves the ministry as Director of Strategic Initiatives. Key Ministry’s mission is to provide knowledge, innovation and support to the local church as it seeks to minister with families of children with mental illness, trauma or developmental disabilities.
In his capacity with Key Ministry, Dr. Grcevich chairs the Program Committee for Inclusion Fusion, a worldwide disability ministry web summit most recently held in November 2014, featuring Joni Eareckson Tada as keynote presenter. He is the principal author of Church4EveryChild, ranked #4 among the Top 100 children’s ministry blogs in 2015 by Ministry-To-Children.com. He was recognized by Sharecare as one of the top ten online influencers (#7) in children’s mental health in 2013. He is frequently invited to speak at national/international ministry conferences on topics pertaining to children, mental health and spiritual development, including…
