Garry and his wife Gini have been at Campbell for 25 years. They have two adult sons, and two grand-daughters. Garry has been working in Children’s Ministry since it was an emerging ministry area back in the 1970’s.

Known by the kids simply as Mr. Garry, he has pioneered curriculum and served as an advocate and consultant in the area of Children’s Ministry nationwide for over 40 years.

"Children's Ministry with a purpose - that's what we’re about. Everything we do is for a reason...and Jesus and kids and families are at the heart of the reason," says Garry. "And what a joy to serve children and partner with families in a church family that is totally committed to kids. This church truly has a heart for children."

Garry’s wife Gini is a personal chef and caterer, and together they spoil a 4lb. toy Yorkie named Abbie. They enjoy talking about their grand-daughters, traveling, gardening and Gini’s famous (and secret) recipe for Texas brisket.
