Grant Hagiya

Grant Hagiya is the Resident bishop of the new Greater Northwest Area (Encompassing the Alaska, Oregon-Idaho, and Pacific Northwest Annual Conferences). He is the current chair of the Council of Bishop’s Task Force that plans the new Learning Retreats for all active Bishops. He also chairs the Ministry Study Commission for the 2013-2016 quadrennium. A Board member of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry, he chairs the Endorsing Committee for UMC chaplains. He graduated with an Educational Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University in 2012. His book, Leadership Kaizen, based on his dissertation on the Traits, Qualities and Characteristics of Highly Effective UMC Clergy was published by Abindon in 2013. A former faculty member of the Claremont School of Theology and District Superintendent of the Los Angeles District, he was elected to the Episcopacy in the midst of starting a Center of Leadership Excellence for both the Cal-Pac Annual Conference and the Claremont School of Theology. His vision for this Center has been fulfilled recently in the creation of the Bishop Jack and Marjorie Tuell Center for Leadership Excellence for the Western Jurisdiction.
