After completing additional academic work, he received an M.Div. equivalency before entering the Phoenix Seminary doctoral program, where he completed his D.Min. in 2003. He believes in being a lifetime learner. So, further education and experience have come from numerous conferences, seminars, workshops, and extensive reading in a wide variety of subjects relating to culture and the church.
Most of his ministry has been in Baptist churches both stateside and overseas. Recently he has served with the Evangelical Free Church of America. In Over 40 years of ministry, Garry has served as a senior pastor and associate pastor in Minnesota, Northern California, and New Zealand. He has also served as a mentor or ministry coach to other pastors and lay leaders during that time.
His passion for training leaders stateside and around the world as Executive Director of Leadership Development with S.O.S. International is driven by his life motto, “To whom much is given, much is required.” (Luke 12:48)
