Rev. Gary Gilmore came to FBC Marionville in April of 2019 as Transitional Pastor and became the "Real" Pastor in August of 2021. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic made this unusual step necessary to see some great initiatives brought to completion.
Prior to coming to Marionville, Gary served as the Senior Army Chaplain for the Missouri National Guard. He continues to support Veterans in his military retirement, teaching suicide intervention conferences and speaking at Veteran events. Gary has pastored three other churches in Missouri over a 40 year ministry, enjoying long tenure and wonderful relationships in them all.
