Pastor Gary is our Pastor for Church and Community Ministries and oversees the “serve” part of our process. He sees his ministry as an opportunity to partner with fellow church members to be intentional in the desire to become fully devoted followers of Christ. His goal is to shepherd people through our simple church model. “The way that will happen is for me,” says Pastor Gary, “to develop relationships with all our folks as we walk together through our process. We want to become a church known for our love for each other and our community.”
