The Rev. Dr. Robert A. "Bob" Garwig has been a Presbyterian pastor for over 26 years.  He has earned degrees from The Ohio State University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and McCormick Theological Seminary.  Having a heart for mission and evangelism, Bob has redeveloped churches in Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan.  He is founding pastor of Clanton Presbyterian Church, an African-American congregation in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"Jesus Christ is the basis of my life.  The joy, healing, strength, insight and wisdom I receive from my Savior is the invaluable result of a simple connection of faith.  Through prayer, worship, fellowship and service to others, I have built my faith in Jesus and seen miracles happen because of Him."
"Living a blessed life is realizing that it is more blessed to give than to receive.  As we learn to give and to share our souls as well as what we have stored, our vitality increases and the people around us become fruitful vines and olive shoots around our tables."
Bob enjoys reading, baseball, gardening, keeping up with his grown children (Andy, of Austin, Texas and Gwen, of Venice, California).  He is married to Laura Mason, an alumna of the University of Michigan and the Detroit School of Law. Laura was most recently in private practice in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan.  Bob and Laura have a golden retriever, Georgia.  Bob has also completed marathons in Charlotte; Houston; Virginia Beach, VA; Detroit and Boston.
