Grant & Afsaneh Roe
About Us
We’re Grant and Afsaneh Roe, Lead Pastors of Christian Life Cathedral in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the founders of Altar Global — a ministry that exists to connect and equip followers of Christ for Great Commission impact around the world.
Together, we share a deep passion for seeing people encounter God’s love, be formed in Christ’s image, and released into their God-given calling. Whether through teaching, writing, or building kingdom partnerships across the globe, our heartbeat is to see lives transformed by the Gospel.
At home, our greatest joy is being parents to Simeon, Norah, and Dominic, and building a family life rooted in love, faith, and hospitality.
Grant Roe
Grant’s calling to pastoral ministry has been shaped by a rich journey of leadership, study, and cross-cultural experience. Before entering full-time ministry, he worked in leadership development and consulting, completing his Master of Business Administration at John Brown University.
In 2018, Grant and his family moved to South Africa, where he served at Numa Life Church and completed his Master of Divinity at the South African Theological Seminary. These years deepened his global perspective and strengthened his passion for raising up leaders who live out the Gospel in everyday life.
Since 2023, Grant has served as Lead Pastor of Christian Life Cathedral in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he teaches God’s Word, equips leaders, and shepherds the church into its mission of healing the hurting and equipping the Body of Christ.
Afsaneh Roe
As the daughter of first-generation immigrants from Iran and Mexico, Afsaneh has seen firsthand the beauty and strength that diversity brings to communities. Her heritage gives her a unique vision for building Christ-centered spaces where every voice and culture is valued.
Before moving to South Africa, Afsaneh taught Public Speaking at the University of Arkansas while also leading the Women’s Ministry and pastoring college students alongside Grant. She earned her Master of Arts in Communication from the University of Arkansas and continues to find joy in helping people discover confidence in their God-given voice.
Afsaneh’s ministry is marked by warmth, wisdom, and a heart for empowering others to live authentically in Christ.
