Ministry Profile
Jim and Cheri Garrett have a heart and passion for children, youth, and ministry leaders … to see them discover who they are in Jesus and how to walk that out in their daily lives. They believe that children and youth can and should be used mightily by God. The Garretts have a calling and anointing to mentor and train youth and children’s leaders, passing on that passion to make a difference in the lives of youth and children. Jim and Cheri were both reared in rural South Carolina during the turbulent 60s and 70s amidst both racism and alcoholism in their families. By coming to know Jesus at young ages, they have seen how God can bring healing and freedom, no matter what circumstances in life stack against you.
The Garretts have been married for 33 years and have been in ministry their entire married life. Cheri loves her family (hubby, children, and grandchildren … and dogs) as well as pursuing God’s purpose and plan for her life. She is gifted at teaching God’s Word in a very practical way and has a heart to see people healed and set free. She has ministered with Jim in every capacity and is his organization.
Jim is a forever student and loves to teach. He has been/is a youth/children’s pastor, musician, teacher, senior pastor, college/seminary professor, school administrator, husband, father, and grandfather.
Most importantly, however, they are both lovers of God and His people. They have pastored (mostly as youth and children’s pastors) in Florida, South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois.
In addition, Jim has taught Greek, Christian Education, Missions, Hermeneutics, and Practical Ministry classes at Mid-West Bible College, Vision Bible College, Lee University, and Ashland Theological Seminary.
Jim, Cheri, Crystal (& David), Amber (& Ed), and Jamie (& Crystal) are corporately and individually armed with a calling, equipping, and determination to disciple this and future generations through teaching, short-term missions, evangelistic rallies, music, and literature. They are comfortable and accepted in most Pentecostal/ Charismatic/ Third Wave church settings.
Garrett Ministries have carried out successful campaigns in camp meetings as well as youth and children's camps in the mid-west and southern regions of the US, as well as Israel, U.S.V.I., Colombia, Peru, Antigua, Honduras, India, South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Trinidad, Haiti, and the 1996 Olympics.
