Rob grew up in the home of a pastor. So, of course, in his earliest days, this meant
telling anyone who would ask that he would never be a pastor. God had other
plans. At age 14, after a Sunday evening sermo,n there was an altar call given and
Rob answered God’s call to vocational ministry. From that momen,t he began to
listen for wisdom, study books, and be in the same rooms with pastors who could
teach him how to be a pastor. Many of these pastors showed kindness and helped
set his heart toward empathetic ministry.

Formal training followed and led to a staff position and teaching at a Bible college
in northern Wisconsin. From there, his first full-time position set the course for
much of what future ministry would reflect. He was asked to serve as the English
pastor at a Chinese church in his hometown, suburban Chicago. Those years were
followed by two more wonderful student ministry experiences serving suburban
churches near Washington, D.C,. and Phoenix. Years in rural Kentucky provided a
first-time senior pastor position, followed by 9 more years in student ministry in
southwest Michigan. Church planting in suburban Atlanta brought beautiful years
of opportunity and challenge. And the last 11 years or so have been serving for the
first time in a megachurch both as a volunteer and as paid staff.

Rob and Christina have been married for 32 years. They have three young adults
children.

The common thread in each of these seasons of ministry has been that Rob has
constantly connected with other pastors for friendship, encouragement, and
learning. He believes that his call to be part of the PastorServe team is the
consummation of more than thirty years of learning to build trust and equity with
pastors. Another pastor recently introduced Rob to a ministry resident by saying,
“This is Rob McQueary. He is a pastor to pastors.” He would love to connect with
you too.,
