Jason & Karen Gardner

Jason and Karen Gardner, now living in Gardner, KS, are missionaries at heart. Having traveled the world with their four children and pastored in California and St. Louis, they are now working in the marketplace but felt called to join the KC Underground, embracing Gardner as their mission field.

Through intentional relationship-building and discipleship, they’ve seen God work powerfully in their community. Spiritual conversations in everyday spaces have led to remarkable transformations. Two dads have accepted Christ—one being baptized and renouncing occult practices. Another couple, Zach and Sandy, were also baptized, and Zach has stepped into leadership by facilitating a Discovery Bible Study group of over 10 men at his workplace.

The Gardners are faithfully planting the Gospel and witnessing God bring life change in the lives of their neighbors and beyond.
