Working out of the Greenville and Coldwater Offices, State of the Heart welcomes a new Chaplain, Gary Snowden. Gary has a lot of experience and a love for helping people. He received his Doctor of Ministry from the Graduate Theological Foundation in 2008. When asked why he came to State of the Heart Gary said, “To see the pain and heartbreak gradually lessened and to feel that I have made someone’s life a little better brings me joy.” In his free time he enjoys fishing.
