Ted Vaughn is equal parts strategic leader and worship arts pastor. With a passion to help followers of Jesus discover and unleash their creative potential, Ted has spent the last 15 years working within a variety of Christian communities equipping them to more effectively engage and transform their culture through the integration of creative arts, justice, and worship.
Having spent 13 years leading change within Presbyterian (PCUSA & PCA), Lutheran, Evangelical-Covenant, and Anglican congregations, his seasoned perspective on the dynamics of worship and culture-change in a denominational setting has been featured at pastor retreats, church seminars, and conferences.
In addition to partnering with Slingshot Group, Ted is the Executive Director of Production and Creative Arts for the Rock Church in San Diego, CA, a young, urban, and forward-thinking church of over 12,000 weekly worshippers. He also serves as the Creative Director for Miles Ahead, the international evangelistic ministry of Miles McPherson (Rock Church Senior Pastor).
Whether local, mega, or para-church, Ted’s foremost desire and vision is to see Christian communities identify, mobilize, and unleash superior artists so that they, through their art, contribute to bringing God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
