About Our Leaders
Worth Carson, Senior Pastor
Our senior pastor is Worth Carson and he 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 children’s ministry at Granada. Together they have three grown children and two 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.
