Dr. Gary Stewart, Senior Pastor

Pastor Gary was born in Seattle, Washington, made the trip across country when he was 13 years old, and resided in Maryland until he left home to go to college. He has an Associate Degree from Bluefield College, a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Richmond, a Master’s Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, and did his Seminary work at Southeastern Seminary. In 2010, Pastor Gary received his Doctorate from Master’s International School of Divinity.

Gary served as an officer in the United States Marine Corps and worked for 18 years in senior level operations positions in the restaurant industry before God called him into the ministry in 1998.

By Pastor Gary’s own admission, his greatest accomplishment was talking his wife Amy into marrying him in 1986. Through that union, God has blessed them with five precious children: Jillian, Billy (Jillian’s husband), Abby, Matthew, and Jonathan.
