John & Jennifer bring over 33 years of marriage, ministry, and leadership experience to the Standing Stone team. Together, they have served as lead pastors, church planters, associates, missionaries, and leaders in the non-profit sector.

They are gifted listeners and confidantes who combine Christ-like empathy, truth, and grace to encourage and serve influencers and emerging leaders on the front lines of God’s Kingdom.

When not serving through Standing Stone, you will find John using his gifts as a public communicator or Jennifer serving as a seasoned worship leader. They enjoy serving in their local community, drinking great coffee, sharing adventures together in the great outdoors, and visiting their children and grandkids.

John and Jennifer live in beautiful central Oregon, serving as Standing Stone Field Shepherds offering one-on-one and couple-to-couple shepherding. In addition, the Garricks open up retreat space to facilitate guided respite and excursions for ministry couples needing extra time and connection in a destination location.

They have two married daughters, one married son, and two granddaughters.
