During his pastorate, Cathy gave birth to their only child, Ian Mark Gewin. In 1960, he, Cathy and Ian moved to St. Joseph, Missouri where he served as pastor at 2nd Presbyterian Church for 30 years. During that time, he and his dear friend, Dr. John Watson, attended McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago where he earned his Doctor of Ministry in 1982. He rejoiced at the birth of his two grandchildren, Shawnna Marie (Gewin) Kroeger and Joseph Ian Gewin. They were baptized by their grandfather into the Presbyterian Church. His time in St. Joseph was his favorite time in life. His love for his congregation was unmatched. Shortly after retirement, he received the honor of Pastor Emeritus.
