No reputable outlet has published a net worth figure for Bishop Gary McIntosh. He is a Tulsa, Oklahoma, pastor who co-founded Higher Dimensions Evangelistic Center. In 1999 he planted the church that became Transformation Church, which he handed to Pastor Michael Todd in 2015. The $180 million figure this page used to show had no source. It has been removed, along with income figures that contradicted each other.
What is Bishop Gary McIntosh's net worth?
There is no reliable estimate. Pastors' personal finances are rarely public, and no news outlet or filing we found reports McIntosh's pay or assets.
The old figure may have come from mixing up his wealth with his former church's. Transformation Church's real estate deals are large and well documented. The Christian Post reported in 2021 that the church bought a six-story Tulsa office tower for $35 million, after earlier deals worth $31 million that included a retail center. KJRH put the church's real estate purchases in Tulsa County at nearly $67 million. All of those purchases were made by the church under Michael and Natalie Todd, years after McIntosh handed over leadership. Church property belongs to the church, not to a founding pastor.

Bishop Gary McIntosh's yearly earnings and salary
His salary has never been published. The old page contradicted itself. It gave "6 million USD" a year in one sentence and "120 million USD" in its table, alongside a monthly figure of $50,000. None of these had a source, and they cannot all be true, so all of them have been removed.

Ministry career
According to the McIntosh Ministries biography, McIntosh has spent more than 42 years in local church ministry. Its main stages are listed below.
- Oral Roberts University – After graduating, he serves three years as the university's associate chaplain under Rev. Bob Stamps.
- Bethany Christian School – He and his wife, Debbie, work on the school's staff.
- Higher Dimensions Evangelistic Center – They co-found the Tulsa church with a friend and serve 11 years as associate pastors. Membership grows to about 4,000, the church starts a TV ministry, and it launches the national Azusa Conference.
- Pastors' network – He builds a network to support, train and oversee local pastors, a model later expanded through the Azusa Fellowship.
- 1999 – The McIntoshes found Greenwood Christian Center in north Tulsa. KJRH reports that they moved there in response to the history of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The church later becomes Transformation Church.
- February 1, 2015 – He hands the lead role to Michael and Natalie Todd and becomes the church's oversight pastor.
- Today – Through McIntosh Ministries, he focuses on developing and mentoring the next generation of pastors.
Transformation Church and Michael Todd
Michael Todd told KJRH that he started as the sound technician at Greenwood Christian Center. He worked alongside McIntosh for about five years before the handover. When the Todds took over, the church had fewer than 300 people attending. It has since grown into one of the best-known churches in the country. It moved into a former arena in Bixby that it bought for about $10 million, and Todd became a bestselling author. McIntosh's role in this story is as the founder who built the church in north Tulsa and chose his successor.
Early life and family
Little verified information about McIntosh's childhood is public. The old page's description of his family's reading and exercise habits had no source and has been removed.
Bishop Gary McIntosh's wife
The old page said McIntosh was married to Natalie Todd. That is wrong. Natalie Todd is Michael Todd's wife and co-leads Transformation Church with him. McIntosh's wife is Debbie McIntosh, his ministry partner since before Higher Dimensions. According to McIntosh Ministries, Debbie ran a licensed adoption agency, managed a crisis pregnancy center, founded a home for women in crisis pregnancies, and created a nationally syndicated purity curriculum.
Education
McIntosh graduated from Oral Roberts University, according to his ministry biography, and later completed formal theological training. The old page said he graduated from Rockmont College (now Colorado Christian University) and worked as a professor at Talbot School of Theology. Those details belong to a different person, Dr. Gary L. McIntosh, a church-growth author who is president of the Church Growth Network and teaches at Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. The two men are not the same person.
Age, height and weight
His date of birth is not published. The age of 60 on the old page does not fit more than 42 years in ministry after college, and its height and weight had no source. All three have been removed.

Why no figure is given
Pastors' income usually comes from church salaries, speaking fees and book sales, and it is rarely disclosed. Church property and budgets belong to the church. No reliable source reports McIntosh's personal finances, so any number, and especially $180 million, would be invented.
