Rev. Dr. Mike Coppersmith
Retired Pastor,
Our Saviors Community Church
“I have had the privilege of knowing Gregg Garner deeper and deeper over the last few years, and I've become impressed with his genuine humility and ingenuity...both as gifts from God and for God. His leadership calling has been packed with the journey of most leaders who find God has more in store than they imagined in terms of the fruit and the sacrifice.
Amidst this journey, I have found Gregg always returning to his Source to find answers, direction, and hope. He aims to model nothing less than Jesus lays out for each of us and pursues his passion for equipping individuals with the tools they need to be fruitful and fulfilled in their local ministry, missions field, and home.”

John Savage, EMBA
CEO, The Savage Group
“It is rare in life you encounter someone like Gregg. He continually gives of himself and his gifts to those around him, to see them know the Lord better. His understanding of God's Word roots him in a life of service focused on the growth and development of all those around him.“

Jeremiah Watson
Owner
“Several years ago my son was searching for an opportunity to go further with God and to truly learn to love, live and serve like Jesus. He discovered that opportunity through the ministry of Gregg Garner. Not only my son, but countless others have been positively impacted by Gregg’s desire to develop a community of faith that would make a real difference in this world by practically demonstrating the heart of God. Gregg is to be commended for his obvious commitment to the cause of Christ and admired for his tremendous leadership abilities in creating, organizing and implementing the ministries and projects that he is inspired to develop.”
