For I am not ashamed of the Gospel...
Gwen Durkee has been a Pastor for the last 18 years. Before that she led Women’s Bible study groups and led women’s retreats. Gwen loves to laugh and has a passion for women's ministries. She loves coffee with French Vanilla creamer and chocolate! Gwen also has a black cat named Zeb and a Boston Terrier named, Barkley! Gwen recently got married on October 12, 2022. She has a son and two granddaughters! She loves to sing and tell others about the glory of the Lord!
In 2014 her marriage of 33 years ended and it has been a painful journey made easier with the presence of God and the knowledge that He has been with her (as He is with all of us) every step of the way. Through this painful time Gwen has come to depend on God and Jesus Christ in a way that she had not yet experienced. When there's nothing else left, there is God.
Gwen is passionate about her love for the Lord, for Jesus Christ our Savior. There have been many valleys that she has gone through, many hills and mountains that have had to be climbed, but through it all she has learned that there is always hope, that there is always joy in the morning and that she has never, ever been alone at any times. For God says in Isaiah 43:2-3a, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." NIV
Contact Gwen to come share with you how God has worked in her life and continues to do so and how He can work in yours. You will not be disappointed!

Gwen used to lead our Women's Bible studies at the church and did that very well for 3 years now. She has a loving spirit and her love for the Lord is very evident in her life. She has a real heart for women's ministries and it is her gift. She also has a wonderful gift of singing.

We felt that Gwen really connected with our audience and her stories were memorable. We were all encouraged by the way she incorporated scripture as she spoke about how God satisfied her soul during a really dark time in life. She is a beautiful Pastor and witness for Jesus!

I have known Gwen for over 27 yrs and know her to be one of the most dependable and honest person I know. She is a hardworking woman with a good moral compass. She will give all her attention to accomplish goals. A person who can be counted on, never judgmental, open minded and willing to go the mile for anyone no matter how bumpy the path. I am proud and honored to have such a person as her in my life.

Gwen is truly a blessing to anyone who gets the opportunity to meet her. Her life is a beautiful testimony of what the love and power of Jesus Christ can do in a person's life. Often times during/after a sermon I feel empowered, encouraged, and challenged to do the work God has set for me that week and I believe it is because of the Holy Spirit working in her. She is passionate, humble, and generous with the love that overflows from her life because of Him. I could not be more happy to write this review for her because I know she will enjoy speaking at any event you will have her at.

"What a inspirational program Pastor Gwen presented to our Women's retreat! As we ""weeded"" together through our gardens, she gave practical steps that will guide us to a spiritual growth. She definitely planted seeds in my soul. Gwen's program reassured me that God is still working on me every day. Marian Cochran Orchard Park Presbyterian Church Carmel, IN"

"As I began to think about how to write this recommendation for Gwen Pew, I first went to the internet to find outlines or other assistance. But after I prayed about this I felt I should just express it from my heart. Gwen has led many Bible studies for the women of our church and the church she now pastors. These led to weekend retreats where she led us through different aspects of our lives helping us to see God at work in us and around us. She has a real gift of telling a story to bring about a point or explanation of scripture. She “breathes” God’s word and prayerfully seeks his leading. It is at this point that she feels God leading her to again work with women in a new way. .......

I have had the opportunity to attend numerous Bible Studies that Gwendolyn has facilitated. She has the ability to lead, listen, inspire and connect the group. Also, she has the ability to select excellent material. Gwen's passion for serving the Lord is a gift to any group. In addition her musical talent is the icing on the cake. I highly recommend Gwendolyn for any Christian Women speaking engagement.

Gwen spoke at my mother's church's Mother and Daughter Banquet today. I was fortunate enough to be a guest and to hear her for the first time. Her message was beautiful, relevant and most importantly a blessing. Althouth scripture was the foundation of her message, sharing her personal experiences made it more relatable. God is good.
