About Pastor Gary

Pastor Gary Beasley was born into a military family during the era of what is now called the baby boom. He is grateful for all he learned about Jesus as a child in the United Methodist Church. He also owes a lot to the work of God at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California, where he accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of 21. God has used a wide variety of experiences to prepare Pastor Gary and his wife Joanna for their new position as Faith Bible Chapel’s Campus Pastors at Carr St. and I-70. Gary earned a B.S. degree in Agricultural Biology as a young man while living in Southern California, and gained his formal theological education over time through distance learning while raising a family and doing ministry. In 2007 Gary received the Doctor of Ministry degree from Christian Life School of Theology in Columbus, Ga.

Gary and Joanna are the parents of Veronica, Hudson and Nolan. They have written books, taught at conferences, and done the work of the ministry wherever God has sent them as a team. Gary has been a traveling evangelist, ministry leader, church consultant and a Seminar Speaker at various points in his years in the ministry. For the last 14 years he has served as an associate pastor to George Morrison at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, Colorado.
