Reverend Billy S. Gardner Sr., has been in the ministry since September of 1998. He has served in many different capacities including senior pastor for nine years. He earned a B.A. in Religion, an M.A. in Theological Studies, and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Ministry. He is a Certified (not licensed) Faith Based Counselor and works as a Church Growth Consultant. Rev. Gardner has had the privilege of working with different churches crossing racial and denominational lines. These churches range in size from five members to three hundred and fifty members. This privilege has afforded him a wealth of knowledge that he shares with different churches and their leadership. Rev. Gardner believes that in order to have a healthy church it starts with prayer and seeking God. Leadership comes next. Then comes the type of service, evangelism, and discipleship. Times have changed. In order to have a healthy church, the way we do church has to change. Rev. Gardner has a passion to see the lost saved, Christians have their minds transformed from carnal to spiritual, and be a source of hope in the community. This takes strong leadership and strategic planning. It is easier to get people in the church than it is to keep them once they are there. Unfortunately, our churches are losing people faster than they are gaining them. Or, once people decide to join a church, we do not know what to do with them after they arrive. Rev. Gardner’s hope is that he can help all of God’s people that will allow him to do so in this area. He is married with four adult children and a three-year-old daughter and two deceased kids.
