Pastors and Ministers
| Reverend Gary Gabbard, Pastor |
 |
Reverend Gary Gabbard is the Pastor of
the Gabbard Tabernacle and the President of Gabbard
Evangelistic Association. He has been pastor since he
was 19 years old. At the age of 17 he had a drowning
accident where he was under the water for at least 15
minutes. The people at the scene gave up reviving him
after all attempts at CPR failed. Gary Miraculously came
back to life on the side of the lake. He was rushed to
the hospital where he spent 24 hours in Critical
Condition with no prognosis to live. He had double
pneumonia in every lobe of his lungs and wasn’t supposed
to live. God had other plans. Reverend Roy and Catherine
Gabbard, Gary’s parents, knew that the same God that
brought him back to life was able to heal his sick body.
Gary woke up 24 hours later feeling perfect and in fact
asked the nurse for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Immediately
the doctors were called in and new X-rays revealed a
miracle took place. His lungs were perfect and there was
no more pneumonia. God is still a miracle worker.
Rev. Gary started pastoring at 19 at the Gabbard
Tabernacle. His ministry has grown and this testimony
and many others have opened the door for his ministry.
Gary preaches a powerful healing and deliverance faith
message every Sunday morning at the Gabbard Tabernacle.
He is also a tremendous leader a great example of our
Savior’s grace and mercy. |

Reverend Charlotte Gabbard Settle
(Sister Charlotte) began preaching a fiery message with
a heavy anointing at the age of 15 years. In fact, After
completing her first message, she prayed for a woman in
the service. God showed her that he was healing the baby
in her womb. The lady explained after the service that
the baby had died and surgery was scheduled to remove
the dead baby the following week. God completed the
miracle and the baby came back to life and was born
healthy. Sister Charlotte’s miracle ministry is now in
the 50th year and still going strong. She still preaches
every Saturday evening at 7:00 PM at the Uptown Church
