Gary Garrett has walked as a follower of Jesus Christ for over 49 years and has pastored churches in Kansas City, Kansas; Clinton, Missouri; and Fulton, Missouri, for a total of 37 years. Within those years, God empowered them to start a new church plant in Fulton and assist in planting a second church in Kingdom City, Missouri. Gary has also operated a daycare, and he co-sponsored the Kingdom Christian Academy in Fulton.
Although Gary is retired, he earnestly supports the mission and vision of NBCCS, stating, “I am increasingly concerned with the moral and educational direction our educational system is directing our families toward. I have a passion to see new Christian schools emerge all over this county, state, and country—schools that successfully educate our children and grandchildren in the truth of God's Word in every phase of the classroom as well as the moral foundation of our country.” Presently, Gary is dedicating himself to the fulfillment of this vision by serving as the chairman of the board of NBCCS.
