Gary Allen just joined our leadership team in August of 2020 as our Minister of Worship and Music.
He was called into the ministry in 1979, at the age of 22. He grew up singing solo’s and playing the piano in his teen years, demonstrating a God-given gift in the area of music.
Gary's ministry began with youth and music responsibilities, and through a unique set of circumstances, felt God calling him into the Gospel Ministry. He served as a senior pastor for 35 years at various churches throughout Illinois. While serving full time in ministry he completed a Bachelor’s degree with a major in Bible and a minor in music, as well as a Master’s of Divinity and a Doctorate in Ministry.
Gary is married to his wife, Monica and they have two sons in Chicago and a son and two grandchildren that live in Dublin. His wife works in the medical field.
We are pleased to have his music expertise and family join our family!
