Gary comes to MultiSite Solutions from Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago where he served as the key evangelism leader since 1992.

At Willow Creek, Garry innovated the Seeker Small Group and creative outreach strategies, including Willow’s current church-wide evangelism initiative, “Living in 3D.”

Prior to this role, Garry was the founding Senior Pastor for five years of an outreach-focused church in Indianapolis, Indiana. His past experience also includes four years as a College Pastor at a church in Bloomington, Indiana; the role of Evangelism Specialist for Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship; and marketplace experience as a consultant with Andersen Consulting.

Passionate about reaching people for Christ, Garry and his team have trained thousands of leaders to launch seeker small groups in their own settings. His award-winning book, Seeker Small Groups, provides a detailed blueprint for facilitating small group discussions that assist spiritual seekers with investigating Christianity.

He also wrote The Complete Book of Questions, a collection of 1001 conversation starters and numerous group study guides including The Three Habits of Highly Contagious Christians; The Tough Questions Series, and (with Lee Strobel) Experiencing the Passion of Jesus to accompany Mel Gibson’s film, The Passion of the Christ. In 2005, it became the first discussion guide ever to receive the prestigious Charles “Kip” Jordon Christian Book of the Year award.
Garry lives in suburban Chicago and consults on evangelism and seeker small groups at churches around the world.
