Ed Underwood oversees the ministries of Church of the Open Door in Southern California. His role includes teaching the Bible on Sunday mornings, mentoring the leaders, and leading a unique community of faith. Ed loves seeing the raw power of God in the lives of people who respond to Jesus’ invitation to new life and obey His command to follow Him.

Ed grew up in Bakersfield, California in a non-Christian home. When the revival of the Jesus Movement swept through the streets of Bakersfield, he heard the Good News about Jesus and believed in Him. His passion in life is to see revival one more time.

Ed married his Jesus Movement sweetheart, Judy, in 1971. They have served Christ together in the Forest Service community, where Ed was a fireman, and in the U. S. Army, where he served as an Armor Officer. Ed resigned his commission to attend Dallas Theological Seminary because they knew that God wanted them to serve Christ as leaders in the local church. Ed and Judy have served together in pastorates in Michigan, Oregon, and since 1996 at the historic Church of the Open Door in Southern California. They have three adult children who walk with God and seven grandchildren they intentionally spoil.

In 2000 God stretched Ed’s faith when he almost died from a vicious and chronic disease. When God Breaks Your Heart is the story of how Ed honestly struggled with God’s love and care for him and discovered new depths to His grace and mercy. Ed’s second book–Reborn to Be Wild is the story of the Jesus Movement revival from Ed and Judy’s perspective–a couple of pagan kids who met Jesus and joined His revolution. Now asking God to use them to call His people back to revival.
