He gave my workers practical, usable, and helpful ideas they could take back and use in their churches. I wholeheartly recommend Chuck to you to train your leadership team." -Jamie Baldwin, Youth Associate, Office of Sunday School, Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions
"I have known Chuck and utilized his gifts a number of times over the last 14 years. Few youth minister consultants exist that have his integrity, knowledge, and skill in presenting that knowledge. I have always felt 'fed' and so have my youth workers and interns whenever we have had the oppurtunity to learn from and sit under his training gifts that God has given him." -Johnny Derouen, Youth Ministry Professor, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft. Worth, TX

"I have used Chuck Gartman many times over the past 15 years, to help train my Youth Sunday School leadership. He is a gifted teacher that loves to help youth leaders be as effective as possible in ministry with youth. He is a friend to youth ministers across this nation and has a heart as big as the state of Texas. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chuck to you as someone who is able to teach in such a way that others take notice and begin to apply the needed principles. God continues to use this man in an incredible way." -Jerome Smith, Tallowood Baptist Church, Houston, TX

"Chuck Gartman is an expert in youth ministry. He gained his expertise as a youth minister, denominational worker, manager, writer, editor, singer, songwriter, father, and colleague to youth ministers. He has a sense of balance between the program and vision, between family ministry and youth culture-best of all, after 30+ years, he is still doing youth ministry." -R. Allen Jackson, PhD, Youth Ministry Institute, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
"Go To" Youth Ministry is an ambitious undertaking. Only a few folks would even dare to take on such a venture, much less be qualified to lead it. There is no doubt in my mind that Chuck Gartman is one of the few. He brings a wealth of youth ministry experience having served as a Youth Minister, Youth Sunday School Worker, Youth Consultant with Lifeway, etc. His integrity, character, and expertise are rivaled only by his desire to serve you and your church." -Randy Johnson, Minister of Youth Education, First Baptist Church, Richardson, TX
"Having personally used the services of Chuck Gartman and 'GoTo' Youth Ministries, I can recommend him highly to any church looking for strong leadership training resources. Chuck knows Sunday School work. He knows others who know Sunday School work very well. He knows how to help churches move their Sunday School to the next level. Chuck is a gifted communicator who lives what he teaches. Any church who calls on him can count on him resourcing them with the best!" -Phillip Herring, Minister of Education, First Baptist Church, Norfolk, VA
"I recommend Chuck Gartman to all who might be reading this. In my opinion there is no other ministry consultant who brings to the table years of practical experience and heartfelt passion to improve leadership skills. Chuck is a man of integrity. Chuck always causes me to think in new and creative ways. He knows how to "make it happen." In short I would drive 400 miles to be a part of his ministry. Do not miss out on a blessing. 'Go To' Youth Ministry is an investment in the lives of your students." -John Bailey, Manager, Student Volunteer Mobilization, World Changers, North American Mission Board
"I would drive a van full of youth leaders to any town in Texas--in order for them to sit at the feet of Chuck Gartman. I know those leaders would leave full of fire and anxious to apply new insights in ministry to and with teenagers. Ministers wanting to genuinely equip the saints for the work of ministry can do no better than place those leaders under Chuck's training." Richard Ross, Professor of Youth Ministry, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft. Worth, TX.
