 Our 2012 Speaker was Pastor Randy Gariss.
Randy is a native of Lamar, Missouri and has been the preaching minister of College Heights Christian Church in Joplin for 30 years.
College Heights Christian Church (CHCC) is a very healthy congregation deeply committed to following Christ and therefore has an extensive ministry with the poor and in helping to plant the church in restricted or closed areas around the world. Due to the tragedy of the Joplin tornado, CHCC, along with many other great congregations, continues to play a vital role in the recovery effort.
One week after the tornado hit, the Joplin community came together for a memorial service that was televised live around the world. Pastor Gariss presided at the memorial service, which featured remarks by President Obama and Governor Nixon.
Randy often speaks nationally and globally on issues of leadership and justice, and is a frequent speaker on college campuses, especially addressing relationship issues. He is a contributing editor for The Christian Standard magazine, and is the current vice president of the North American Christian Convention. His greatest passion, in his own words, is simply to be a Christ-follower.
Randy and his wife, Julie, have been married for 36 years and have three children and five grandchildren. His bio notes with humor that as a hobby, he makes custom furniture and forces it upon his family.
