It is refreshing in our day of ambition and competition to have a humble man whose heart’s desire is to serve others. This is what draws people to Gary’s leadership. He is all about helping others be successful living out what Paul said in Philippians 2:3 and 4. 

Dr. Darryl DelHousaye, President, Phoenix Seminary 

Gary Kinnaman is a leader of leaders. He is a true gift and has a unique ability to cross all lines without compromising his integrity and faith. This challenges leaders be better leaders. Gary also creates a safe place for leaders to convene and learn to work together. He can relate to the most intelligent, yet articulate his passion for people to the less fortunate. Gary has been and is a reason why I and so many other leaders are effective today.

Alexis Thomas, Senior Pastor, Pilgrim’s Rest Church, Phoenix 

Gary Kinnaman has become, over the years, a pastor to pastors. Many of us here in Arizona know this. Not surprisingly that leadership is taking him where Jesus Himself, would go in our city and state: becoming not a pastor only for the powerful but a pastor for the “voiceless,” the marginalized communities here in metro-Phoenix who have longed for the church, its leaders and its congregations to stand in for them. In Jesus name, Gary seeks to lead the body of Christ there. I’m grateful to be on the team.
