Chris Grabiec

Christopher Grabiec is a partner in the Dunham Group - a web development and communications firm.  Prior to this portion of his career, Chris spent 20 years as ordained priest in the Roman church.   During that time he was pastor of one of the largest parishes in the country, while teaching two thirds of a full time load at the Toronto School of Theology. He also held the position as Dean of the region in which he served. Opening the doors to leaders and offering them the support that they needed to build and grow a 3200 family church was obviously a concern and pre-occupation!  Doing this in a culture of "values" rather than a culture which thrived on a "cut-throat" mentality was part of his vision and continues to be today.  It was and is about building a circle of leaders rather than a pyramid of dictators and oligarchs! The Dunham Group envisions each person within the group as "leader" and strives to build a community of folks who work not because it is their job, but rather because it is their calling to utilize every leaderful gift that they have.  Chris is very interested in Linda's and Brad's work, and is happy to be part of the CCLHV team.
