About Terry Gyger
For eight decades, Terry Gyger has given his life to one calling, to follow Jesus, form leaders, and build healthy churches that stand the test of time. His ministry has spanned continents, denominations, and generations, but the story has been remarkably consistent: Terry invests deeply in people, and they multiply the work of the Gospel.
From his early years pastoring local congregations, to founding leadership networks, to guiding church plants, to shepherding pastors through seasons of renewal and hardship, Terry has always carried a unique conviction:
God grows His Kingdom through people who are faithful, humble, and trained to lead with courage.
As a trusted mentor and spiritual father to pastors around the world, Terry has helped shape hundreds of leaders and strengthen countless churches. His fingerprints rest quietly yet unmistakably on ministries, movements, and leaders across the United States and beyond. Many name Terry as the reason they stayed in ministry, grew as shepherds, and saw their churches find health, unity, and renewed mission.
One of the most widely recognized moments of Terry’s influence came during his time with Redeemer Presbyterian Church, where he helped lead the effort to call Tim Keller. This decision would shape global church planting for decades, through the City to City Network. Terry never sought the spotlight, but God repeatedly placed him at pivotal crossroads where wise leadership changed the trajectory of lives, churches, and even cities.
Now in his nineties, Terry’s influence is still steady, prayerful, and strong. He remains passionate about raising up pastors, equipping churches, and championing the next generation of gospel leaders through Anágo Partners. His life is a testimony to what God can do through one man who chooses faithfulness over fame, depth over breadth, and conviction over convenience.
The Terry Gyger Legacy Fund
For more than half a century, Terry Gyger has championed a simple but urgent conviction:
Healthy churches don’t happen by accident. They are led by healthy pastors.
The Terry Gyger Legacy Fund is established to ensure that this conviction continues shaping future generations. This fund is not merely a tribute; it is an investment into the kind of gospel-centered leadership Terry has modeled his entire life.

to equip pastors, strengthen churches, and guide leaders toward long-term health and effectiveness.
