A member of the Presbytery of East Iowa, Gary L Burnett is a retired certified interim ministry specialist. He earned the BS, MDiv, and STM degrees at the University of Dubuque. In 1970, Gary was ordained to a chaplain position at Kansas Neurological Institute, Topeka, Kansas.
After serving in three called/ installed pastorates in Iowa and Illinois, Gary sensed a call to interim ministry. Beginning in 1984, he served twenty-one congregations (membership ranging 100-800) as intentional interim pastor before retiring in 2008. In six positions, Gary served as after-pastor following misconduct by the previous pastor. Professional growth and development are very important to Gary as evidenced by:
I have served as office administrator at First Presbyterian since July of 2019. I was born and raised in Monticello. My husband, Nick, and I raise our family, Gavin, Anicka, Beckett, and Lennon, here in Monticello. When I'm not busy chasing my family, I enjoy cooking/baking, spending time outside with my family, reading and quilting.
I have been married to my wife, Janie, for over 50 years now! We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren. I served 6-1/2 yrs in the U S Air Force, and we lived in Germany for 4 years and Saudi Arabia for 2-1/2 years. I retired from the Monticello Post Office in 2010 with 35 yrs service. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business management with a minor in Accounting. My hobbies are yard work, fishing, ancestry, and watching TV with my wife.
