&
The Heroes of American Liberty
Garrett Lear, a native New Englander born in 1948 is known across the
nation as “The Patriot Pastor” because of his expertise and
extensive knowledge of the founding of America, his deep and abiding
love for the original intent of The Founding Fathers and his
understanding of The New Testament Church. He has 400 years of ancestry
in New England America, a Mayflower descendant and also an Arabella descendent with John Winthrop.
He is also a member of the National Society Sons of
The American Revolution and is a member of several historical
societies.
As a pastor in the great tradition of the colonial Black Robed
Regiment, his ministry has an extensive archive of American Christian
history. As a recipient of many patriotic awards, he has been in
continuous ministry since 1974, having preached God’s Word
throughout the 50 states of America, Canada and Eastern Europe.
With his commanding 6’7” stature, Pastor Lear continues to
stand boldly in defense of Biblical truth amidst the current cultural
and spiritual malaise. With his deep love for the Lord, he
teaches, instructs and counsels all to follow in the royal path of
Christ. He is known to be a great encourager of victorious
Christian living in all circumstances.
Pastor Lear has been a denominational leader, local pastor, evangelist,
prison chaplain, prayer intercessor and local leader of many national
ministries. He has been privileged to be a Bible college teacher,
Gospel singer, worship leader, revival and conference speaker. He is a
spiritual elder and mentor, often called upon to provide counsel and
guidance to church, government and business leaders across the country.
As a man’s man, Pastor Garrett has been particularly appreciated
in leading men’s ministries, as “iron sharpeneth
iron”.
In 1980, Pastor Lear founded the The Well of Living Water Christian
Ministries based on John 4, after a lengthy time of fasting and
prayer. Due to the demand for his preaching and extensive
knowledge of America’s Christian History, Pastor Lear expanded
his ministry into the public media. Over the years, he has been a
popular radio and television guest including such national programs as
The 700 Club. He has hosted his own radio broadcast “Water From
The Well” and owns several Internet websites that are widely
visited. Being led by the Holy Spirit, his practical application of
Biblical principles are seasoned with many years of living by faith and
the testimonies of The Lord’s miraculous answers to prayer.
In terms of taking a stand in the public square, Pastor Lear has often
spoken at the NH legislature in favor of laws favorable to home
schooling and Christian schools. He has openly challenged Christians
all over America to withdraw their children from the government schools
and instruct them in a Christian Biblical world view.
Pastor Lear has prayed at every State Capital for revival and
restoration of the Christian faith in America. He has been one of
the most outspoken clergymen in the nation in defending innocent human
life, traditional marriage, and the original intent of the US
Constitution for limited government. As a leader of the Black
Robed Regiment, he has encouraged clergy to fearlessly engage these
issues in the public square without fear of reprisal.
Pastor Lear has four children, numerous foster children, four
grandchildren and many spiritual sons and daughters in The Lord.
Pastor’s home and ministry are based in the beautiful mountains
of New Hampshire where Garrett enjoys many outdoor activities and
supports local organic farming for healthy living. He is the Chaplain
for the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution's New
Hampshire and Massachusetts chapters and various veterans
organizations.
He is a member of the American Legion.
He is also a proud member of the Bunker Hill
Monument Association. In 1823, a group of prominent citizens formed the association to construct a more permanent and significant monument to commemorate the famous battle.

"Garrett Lear is native New Englander, and a very well versed man. He knows the
founding documents and the story of our country backwards and forwards. As he stood
there it was like being back in school. One could not hope to find a better teacher. He
was dressed in his Patriot Pastor outfit, very imposing and impressive, and for a moment
you almost feel like you are being transported back to the original days of the founding
when you listen. He answers all questions with facts and references you
can check out."
Michael Wernette -
"I wanted to let you know what an object lesson your personal
ministry has been in my life.
I have often had a difficult time feeling comfortable witnessing
for Christ and the Word of God. As a follower of Jesus Christ I
had the desire to share His teachings, yet "witnessing" often seemed
forced and unnatural for me. Having had a number of opportunities
to hear you speak and to watch how naturally you witness for Christ
in your normal activities and interactions with others has been a
wonderful example for me. As we have increasingly incorporated a
Biblical world-view into our own lives, and have had the opportunity
to observe how naturally you bring God's objective truth to every
aspect of daily life, we now find it almost impossible not to share
God's truth during routine interpersonal interactions. You have been
a tremendous blessing to me and my family. Thank you for all you do
in Christ's name."
