Randall Gearhart has been in fulltime ministry since 1975. While attending RHEMA Bible Training Center, he served as Minister of Youth at Sheridan
Assembly Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Upon graduation from RHEMA, he and his wife, Debbi, moved to Tifton, Georgia, where Randy spent the next 2 ½ years ministering the Word of God in Bible studies and churches throughout South Georgia.
In 1978, Randy joined the faculty at RHEMA. Courses under his instruction included New Creation Realities, New Testament Survey, Understanding Suffering, Colossians, 1 and 2 Peter, The Teacher, Youth
Ministry, Missions, and Evangelism. During that time, he also served as President of the RHEMA Alumni Association.
In 1981, Randy and Debbi moved to Dublin, Georgia, where they founded Dublin Christian Fellowship. While overseeing the ministry from 1981 to 1988, Sunday church attendance grew from 60
to 300. While at DCF, Randy promoted a team concept of ministry and helped plant other churches in the Middle Georgia area.
In 1990, the Gearhart family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, where Randy assumed oversight of Life of Faith Fellowship. Under his leadership, the church grew from 250 to 1150 in
attendance at Sunday morning services. Randy was instrumental in the design and construction of a 93,000 square foot ministry center, built on 65+ acres of land in Kimball, Michigan.
While in Port Huron, Randy served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Operation Transformation, an organization of Greater Blue Water Area churches and pastors, and was one of the
founding members and Vice-President of the Board of Directors of Landmark Academy, an award-winning Michigan Charter school.
In 2005, Randy, Debbi, and their daughter, Tiffany, returned to middle Georgia, where Randy became actively involved in teaching God’s Word in area churches and Bible studies. On Easter Sunday, 2007,
he assumed the position of Director of Ministries / Senior Minister of The Sanctuary of Dublin, an independent, non-denominational church in Dublin.
He currently heads up the leadership team and is working to establish a revolutionary ministry that will impact the Heart of Georgia and beyond with the message of the Kingdom of God. Randy desires
to help believers understand who they are Christ and to fulfill God’s will and purpose for their lives. He also is gifted to recognize, equip, and release others into their God-given ministries.
Randy and Debbi have been married 40 years and have four children and seven grandchildren.

"In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!" ~A.W. Tozer, "I Talk Back to the Devil"

I did a presentation on this at church and I took a punch bowl and put red punch in it (referring to the word)...then I used the things of this world like the teachings of others like"hypnosis" and added water to it with each reference and it got less and less of the color red. That is what the devil wants of God's church to water down the word that is in us so we aren't full of God's word and his power. Reply to this
