About Gary H. Woolverton

Gary H. Woolverton is the founder, President, and Principal Consultant for Ministry By Design, the premier organization committed to assisting churches and other ministries design ministry that is effective in transforming lives in the name of Christ. He began his career working in various aspects of the heavy construction and natural gas industries, gaining expertise in the areas of pipeline construction, material handling, telecommunications, payroll and tax processing, and human resources organizational development and training. Following 17 years of experience in these areas, Gary followed a calling into full-time ministry.

Gary’s initial ministry calling was to serve his local church in Houston by leading support groups in several disciplines. The next several years saw increasing pastoral responsibilities in various capacities in the areas of volunteer recruitment, single adult ministries, assimilation, missions and outreach, stewardship, and adult ministries. Subsequent assignments added a portfolio that included additional responsibilities for men's and women's ministries, as well as couples and marriage ministries. During an assignment at a megachurch in Texas, Gary led a team that developed a comprehensive ministry plan for marriages that is a model that any church of any size can effectively adopt for their needs. The creation of Hartwood Ministries, a non-profit ministry dedicated to helping churches in a number of areas, followed shortly after the development of the marriage ministry project. This non-profit organization was then the forerunner of Ministry By Design, which builds on what the previous incarnations started. Much of the expertise garnered in the areas of ministry design, development, and implementation has been put into book form through a set of volumes entitled, Ministry By Design: The Series. The first three books of the multi-volume series have been published, with others being added over the next several years.
