Harold & Mona Warner

FOUNDER & SENIOR PASTOR

Pastor Harold Warner gave his life to Jesus Christ on November 15th, 1970 in Prescott, Arizona. He had a radical conversion experience, taking him from a young hippie coasting through life to a young man filled with the Holy Spirit. Despite a tragic car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, he and his wife Mona responded to God’s call to minister the Gospel in Tucson, Arizona.

Door Church extends the vision of the Great Commission to reach the lost with an ongoing church planting ministry that extends across the U.S. and into 50+ nations worldwide. Pastor Warner faithfully serves as senior pastor to the same congregation that he and Mona started in 1973. His greatest joy is seeing precious souls redeemed by Jesus Christ, both in Tucson and around the world.

Born and raised minutes from Door Church, Pastor Mike Webb was somewhat of a wild child, birthed into the heart of the hippie movement and the age of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. At the age of eighteen however, he found Jesus during a Door music night concert and surrendered his life to Christ on January 2, 1976. His passion for rock and roll quickly became a passion for souls and he soon began to minister in music at Door Church with the band Oil of Joy. It was within this atmosphere, that he linked hearts with his soon to be wife, Mary, who also shared his passion for music and reaching the lost. They were married in March of 1981 and pioneered their first church in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1982.

Within a couple of years, they left the budding work in Salt Lake to take over the pastorship of Tucson’s inaugural baby church in Clifton, Arizona. After pastoring their beloved congregation in Clifton for several years, they answered the call for the mission field and were planted into Toronto, Canada in 1988. Pastor Mike and Mary pastored the Toronto (Mississauga) church for 34 years and oversaw many baby churches planted and led the church to become a conference center in 2022. They are proud parents to daughters, Brittany and Kristin, and grandparents to 7 grandchildren.

A Tucson native through and through, Pastor Mike has always had a heart for Tucson even during his many years away pastoring and on the mission field. He and his wife are overjoyed at the opportunity to join the pastoral team at Door Church and have a heart to see Tucson touched with the good news of Jesus!

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.

Pastor Smith was stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson from 1980-1986 when 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 girls were born. Despite the terror of war and frustrations of endemic corruption, he nurtured an evangelistic vision in that nation by preaching the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ, and today more than seventy churches in West Africa continue to carry out that vision in church planting.

Pastor Smith was inspired to begin Into-Africa, a foundation dedicated to increasing the quality of life in poverty-stricken areas by planting churches and introducing schools, medical assistance and clean water. An ever-increasing number of African communities are being touched by this ministry. Pastor Smith continues to lead Into-Africa, and ministers to churches in nations throughout the world as Director of International Churches at Door Church in Tucson.
