Gary Kruzan

Gary Kruzan graduated from RHEMA in 1982, and his wife Pam completed first year in 1982 as well. They are the pastors of Faith Christian Family Church in Rushville, Illinois, which they pioneered in 1987. Prior to moving to Rushville, the Kruzans pioneered churches in Kahoka, Missouri, and Nashville, North Carolina.

Gary shares, “If it were not for the teaching and training we received at RHEMA, we would never have been able to accomplish what God has called us to do.

“The practical insight into ministry that was engrafted into our hearts at RHEMA has truly proven to be our most valuable asset.

“We have purposed to maintain our roots at RHEMA and we consider it a great honor to be hooked-up with RHEMA through RMAI. Our church has been a RHEMA affiliate church since 1993. We are also Word Partner Club members, and we also support several RHEMA missionaries around the world.

“RHEMA continues to be a tremendous blessing to us. Several of our staff members and volunteers, including our Assistant Pastor Gregory Ford, and our son, Youth Pastor Doug Kruzan, are RHEMA grads. Many of our church members have attended the Ministers, Leadership, and Helps Conference.

“We believe one of the most important things we can do is continue to glean from the success of Kenneth Hagin Ministries as we watch RHEMA expand their efforts to reach the world. RHEMA was great when we attended, but now it is outstanding in terms of what it is able to do to better equip people for ministry. I believe this is especially true since RHEMA Bible Church was established. I do not believe there is a better place to prepare for ministry than at RHEMA.”

Faith Christian Family Church started with four couples and after 12 years of ministry, they have grown to 275 members. Rushville is located in west central Illinois, in the heart of farm country. And the church stands in the middle of a cornfield. Church members drive from more than 30 different communities to attend church each week. Many of them drive more than 50 miles one way to get to church.
