But God
Pastor Gary Maxwell and his wife, Vicki, have served at St. Paul's since 2005. After leading Youth and Family Ministries, Gary became Senior Pastor in 2025. His biblical, practical messages encourage faith in daily life. With a heart for serving, his favorite verse is Isaiah 6:8, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
