Andy Messick, Lead Pastor of Gallipolis Christian Church
Lead Pastor

Andy Messick, Ph.D.

"I believe the whole gospel, from Adam and Eve to the final trumpet, should resonate through our hearts and passions, and transform our minds."

Andy is passionate about sharing the whole gospel with the whole world. He's dedicated to shepherding God's people and to theologically informed, biblically rich preaching, delivered in a passionate, conversational style, so that our minds are transformed by the gospel.

With more than 15 years in pastoral ministry, Andy brings experience in preaching, biblical leadership, pastoral counseling, and overseas missions, which he has led alongside his wife, Jalissa. Andy and Jalissa have been married for more than nine years and have a son, Samuel. Andy holds a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Columbia International University, where he wrote his dissertation on Isaiah, along with a Th.M. and an M.Div. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
