About Our Leaders

Worth Carson, Senior Pastor

Our senior pastor is Worth Carson and he has served Granada since 1999. He is a native of Miami and loves the city. He prefers salt life: sailing, spearfishing, and kayaking. He studied in North Carolina, Scotland, Princeton, NJ and St. Louis. The wonder of the gospel remains a source of delight for him. He loves books and biographies, stories of all kinds, and strong black java.  His beautiful wife Sandy serves in the children’s ministry at Granada. Together they have three grown children and four grandchildren. It’s true, he uses the name “Sam” when giving his name at restaurants because most people say, “Huh?” when they hear his real name.

In 1988 he was ordained as Pastor by the Presbyterian Church in Brazil and in 2013 he was received as a teaching elder member of the PCA.
