Pastor Gary is happily married to his wife Anne and they have five boys and one girl in their family. They currently make their home in Wadsworth, Ohio.

Pastor Gary ministers to others through his own personal experiences, brokenness and healing which he integrates into his teaching and preaching of the Word each week. He desires each of his messages to be more than just knowledge about the Bible, but to focus on how everyone can experience Christ in their life on a daily basis. His messages are practical in how to live the Christian life and deal with the challenges that life brings. His heart is to help lead a community of people who have experienced brokenness to a life of wholeness by experiencing the deep healing of Christ in their life.
