CJ Mahaney is the former president of Sovereign Grace Ministries (formerly People of Destiny International or PDI, co-founded with Larry Tomczak), a network formed to establish and support local churches, and he was one of the founding pastors and leaders of Covenant Life Church. He presently is the senior pastor of Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville.
Mahaney was born in Maryland into a Roman Catholic household, the middle child of five. He was the son of a metalworker in Takoma Park, Maryland. As a child, he was more interested in sports than God. It was a newspaper ad that motivated him to join a local prayer meeting known as Take and Give.
In 1974, aged 20, Mahaney had met Larry Tomczak, with whom he led and taught a large local prayer group. In the 1980s, Mahaney became a senior pastor.
