CARL HERBSTER   Carl Herbster cherbster@tri-city.org Carl is a member of: Advisory Board Dr. Carl Herbster is the senior pastor at Tri-City Ministries in Independence, Missouri. He and his wife Debbie have three sons, who, along with their wives, also serve in full-time ministry. God used Pastor Herbster’s early years in business as part of the preparation for a varied ministry now. In addition to the local Baptist church, Tri-City sponsors a Christian day school, a seminary, a foreign missions agency, a Christian camp, and has started many churches, both locally and internationally, and Bible colleges in Mexico and Romania. He is the founder of AdvanceUSA (a values action organization) and has served as president of the American Association of Christian Schools. Dr. Herbster has a pastor’s heart, a businessman’s sense, a teacher’s spirit, and a parent’s concern. From this background come practical insights on the organization of the local New Testament church and how a pastor and deacons can serve together harmoniously.
