Greg and his wife, Denise, have been married 27 + years.  They have two children: son, Jonathan and daughter, Piper.

Up Front Ministries is a non-denominational, family focused, Christian ministry that is multi-faceted in scope, including Pastoral Counseling, Financial Consulting, Recording studio, Music outreach, Praise & Worship Training and Leading, as well as, Biblical mentoring.

The ministry is under the oversight of Pastor Greg Haage, who is an Ordained minister, Worship leader, Psalmist, Author, Marriage counselor, Christian recording artist and accomplished professional musician with 26 years of studio, sound engineering, radio production and live performance experiencce.

After years of nightclub and studio tent making, Greg went into ministry in 1995.

Denise, Greg's wife, is a Level-4 Sign Language Interpreter. She exemplifies a Proverbs 31 woman.

Jonathan works at Five Oaks Church in Woodbury as the Associate Worship Arts Director. His wife, Stephanie, is an Elementary Education Teacher.

Piper is in Hotel Management.

Pastor Greg is a licensed Pastoral Counselor with over 15+ years of experience. He addresses the most common—yet often-times not talked about—issues like financial goals & budgeting, the role of sex and intimacy in marriage, as well as, the need for sound doctrine that is so lacking in today's church. His promotion of the Gospel with truth, freedom, and joy, along with other new ministers being raised up, brings a "fresh, new voice" and wind of change to ministry.

This includes the completion of a 15 year Bible Study and now published book, "The Real Deal" (Following Jesus 101)  *See library page.

Greg is a Licensed Real Estate Broker (MN. License # 40112115) and approaches that business like George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life" i.e. helping people in need. www.upfronthomes.com
