My Name: Gary Luther, Adult Education Minister

My Email Address is: red300m@juno.com

Tell us about your family:

My wife Linda and I have been married for 36 years.  We have 2 daughters Lisa & Joni. Both are married, Joni & Matt live in Ft. Mill, SC, Lisa & Denny live in St George, Utah. We have 4 grandchildren; Thomas, Avery, James and Amber. Unfortunately, all of the grandkids live in St. George Ut.

I am retired from the United States Air Force.

How did you first start coming to LBBC?

Linda and I first visited Lake Bowen shortly after the new church opened. We loved it and have been here ever since.

What is one thing you love about LBBC?

I love seeing the different ministries striving for the same goal, growing God’s kingdom.

What do you love most about working here?

Where could you find a better place to work? In a majority of the workplaces in the world, everything is centered on the mighty dollar. Here it’s centered on the Lord.

Who is the most influential person in your life (besides Christ)?

Without question, it is my wife.

What inspires you?

Several things inspire me. I am inspired weekly by the music on Sunday morning. Seeing people kneeling at the alter is very inspiring. I am also inspired by the willingness of the LBBC family to step up and take on responsibilities within the church body. There are no small jobs, whether it be turning off an unused light or directing a major event, all efforts go towards the same cause!!

Any hidden talents?

If I have any, they are well hidden.

Little-known fact about me:

I love to cook but am not very good at cleaning up the mess!!

Orange or Garnet?

ORANGE – both of my daughters graduated from Clemson.
