Harold & Mona Warner
Founder & Senior Pastor
-
Pastor Harold Warner gave his life to Christ on November 15, 1970, in Prescott, Arizona, experiencing a radical transformation from a carefree young hippie to a man filled with the Holy Spirit. After a devastating car accident left him paralyzed from the waist down, Pastor Warner and his wife Mona still answered God’s call to minister in Tucson, Arizona.
Since founding Door Church in 1973, Pastor Warner has faithfully led the congregation while championing the Great Commission through a global church planting ministry that now reaches over 50 nations. His greatest joy is seeing lives transformed by Jesus, both in Tucson and worldwide.
Garett & Sara King
Associate Pastor

Pastor Garett King was born and raised in Tucson. His parents gave their lives to Jesus Christ a few years before he was born, and began attending Door Church. At the age of fourteen, Garett finally surrendered his life to Christ and began to pursue the will of God. Pastor Garett and his wife Sara were married at the age of eighteen, and after two years on staff in Tucson, they were sent to plant a church in Lakewood, Washington.
In 2001, they became youth pastors at Door Church, and served in that capacity for seven years. Then with their three young boys they went into the French-speaking nation of Gabon, Africa as missionaries, and served there for five and a half years. In 2013 Pastor King left the thriving church in the care of an African pastor and the Kings returned to Tucson to assume the role of Assistant Pastor.
Mike & Mary Webb
Assistant Pastor

Pastor Mike Webb, born and raised in Tucson, discovered his faith at 18 during a Door Church music night in 1976, leading him to a life of ministry. His passion for rock and roll transformed into a passion for spreading the gospel, and he began ministering through music with the band Oil of Joy. In 1981, he married Mary, who shared his love for music and outreach, and together they pioneered their first church in Salt Lake City in 1982.
After several years pastoring in Clifton, AZ, they felt called to the mission field and moved to Toronto in 1988. There, they led the Mississauga church for 34 years, planting churches and establishing a thriving conference center. Now back in Tucson, Pastor Mike and Mary are excited to rejoin the pastoral team at Door Church, eager to continue their mission of spreading the good news in their hometown.

Assistant Pastor: Director of
International Churches

Pastor Alvin Smith was stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson from 1980 to 1986, where he gave his life to Christ. In 1989, he and his wife Renee left Tucson to pioneer a church in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, where their two daughters were born. Despite facing the challenges of war and corruption, Pastor Smith nurtured an evangelistic vision, preaching the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, more than seventy churches in West Africa continue to uphold that vision through church planting.
Inspired by his time in Africa, Pastor Smith founded Into-Africa, a foundation focused on improving quality of life in impoverished areas by planting churches and providing schools, medical aid, and clean water. His ministry continues to impact a growing number of African communities.
