Pastor Garris

Information
Pastor Garris accepted the call to Antioch Missionary Baptist Church on January 26, 1997,
and began his service on March 2, 1997. During his 12 years as pastor, there has been a great increase in the spiritual life and membership of the church. He is dedicated to our spiritual growth and development as he expands our knowledge of God’s Word through regular midweek Bible Study and his inspired teaching/preaching sermons and prayers.
Vision
In 2004, God gave Pastor the vision to expand and increase our territory. He is leading the church to provide more SPACE for ministry to the church and community by building a ministry center to help further reach the saints for Christ and serve our fellow man. The church is presently working toward realizing that vision. (See 'Our Vision' page)
Education
Pastor Garris received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Shaw University, Raleigh, NC in 1988 and a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, NJ in 1991.  He was licensed to the Gospel Ministry at Friendship Baptist Church in Monroe, North Carolina in 1984, and ordained by the Zion Baptist Association of North Carolina in 1985. 
Personal
He married Regina L. Mack-Garris in 1990; and they have one son, Jonathan Christian. We give thanks to our humble servant-leader for equipping us to fulfill our mission. We give thanks to God for the many blessings He has bestowed on us and for sending us an anointed Pastor, Leader, Teacher, Counselor, Confidante, and Friend.
