Gary Gaddini serves as executive director for Transforming The Bay With Christ. 

In inarguably one of the most unchurched cities in the United States, their aim is to bring churches together in unity around the gospel, amplify the good works being done to create goodwill, and multiply through church planting and evangelism.

Gary shares that if unity can happen in the San Francisco area, it can happen anywhere and emphasizes the importance of equipping and empowering Christians in the marketplace to live out their faith, rather than just focusing on church roles.

Gary Gaddini was born in San Francisco and grew up in Novato, a suburban city located 25 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. He is extremely grateful for his full-blooded Italian heritage.

Prior to joining the TBC team, he served as lead pastor of Peninsula Covenant Church in Redwood City for 24 years after a 21-year career serving in Student and Family Ministries. Gary earned a BS in Business Management from Sacramento State University, (which Gary affectionately refers to as the Harvard of the West) and an MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois.

Gary and his wife Anne have been married for 31 years and have five awesome daughters.

Gary’s hobbies include running trails in western San Mateo County, enjoying time with good friends, reading, playing and doing anything with his wife and daughters.
