Gary is our founding and senior pastor. Our church began as a small group meeting in his living room, launching publicly on January 26, 1992. Gary grew up in Bristol, Virginia. After earning a B.A. in Music from Radford University, he worked twelve years in the corporate world. He left his job in 1991 to answer God’s call to ministry. He attended Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he graduated with a M.Div. with Biblical Languages.
Gary and his wife, Robin, have three grown children and ten grandchildren. Gary enjoys reading, playing guitar, riding his motorcycle, and being with friends and family. You can follow his daily devotions on the One Year Bible, sermons, and other regular blog posts at www.garycombs.org.
