Pastor Gallups is a former decorated Florida law enforcement officer, having served with two different sheriff's offices under three different sheriff's administrations. He was the recipient of the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award - twice - once in each of the two sheriff's offices for which he worked. He received a commendation of valor as well as two commendations of meritorious service. He was also given an award by a regional chapter of the NAACP for risking his life in the line of duty after going into a burning apartment complex to pull several occupants out to safety. Carl was Florida's very first 18-year-old Corrections Officer with the Florida Dept. of Corrections. In some of the last years of his law enforcement oriented career he served as the Assistant to the Administrator of the Bureau of Admissions and Release Authority with the Florida Dept. of Corrections Central Office at Tallahassee, FL.
Carl is a graduate of Florida State University (B.Sc.), The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and the Florida Law Enforcement Officer Training Academy (including several law enforcement and investigations specialty training classes). Carl serves on the Board of Regents with the University of Mobile, in Mobile, Alabama - since 2000.
Carl is a frequent guest on numerous television and radio programs. He is also a popular Bible and Prophecy conference speaker. Carl opened the Donald Trump for President Rally in Pensacola, FL in January 2016. This was then-candidate Trump's very first Florida Rally. He was also deputized, in 2016, as a Special Deputy by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, formerly of the Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff's Office.
CARL SAYS: My passion in life is to faithfully advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, equipping believers to be faithful ambassadors of that Kingdom work. We are living in the most profoundly prophetic times since the first coming of Jesus Christ. I am striving to wake up the church-at-large to this biblical truth.
