Curtiss & Shannon Gibbs

Who We Are

Curtiss and Shannon met at the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and have been married for over 20 years.  Shannon decided to guard Curtiss during a game of ultimate frisbee, thinking he would be the easiest one to cover- and the rest is history! Curtiss has completed his Master of Divinity degree, with an emphasis in Children at Risk, from Fuller Theological Seminary. They love time with family and friends, being outdoors, and looking for opportunities to travel and serve. They live and work in Seattle.

Our Work

Curtiss joined Christian Veterinary Mission after 12 years in the local church, where he served primarily in the areas of youth, college, and missions ministry. Shannon began her ministry in the local church, serving as a ministry director and leading teams in short-term missions. Her experience in missions was a catalyst to extending her education, achieving a Masters in Christian Leadership and a Master of Public Health. She now also works for CVM!

Curtiss has many responsibilities as CVM’s Workplace and Student Ministries Assistant Director & West Region Rep but his primary focus is on serving, connecting, and sending veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students to live out God’s calling on their lives.  Curtiss uses his relational gifts to encourage veterinarians to live out their faith in their everyday lives. Curtiss also hosts CVM’s podcast Two Roads Crossing – give it a listen! Shannon uses her gifts of communication to build relationships with our long-term fieldworkers. She communicates with them regularly, helping them to connect and share their updates and letters with their supporters. She also runs CVM’s Remember a Pet and Celebrate a Pet programs, as well as communicate with clinics about job and externship opportunities.

For students, his ministry of service inspires many to create and sustain thriving campus ministry groups, specifically for those on their veterinary college campuses.
