Like his brother Cline, Gerald Paden graduated from Idalou High School and Abilene Christian College. He enlisted in the [[United States Navy]] in 1943 and served aboard the [[aircraft carrier]], the ''[[USS Shipley Bay (CVE-85)]]''. Honorably discharged in 1946, he wed the former Bobbie Rhea, who became a vital part of his ministry in the Church of Christ in West Texas at Meadow in Terry County (1951-1953) and New Home in Lynn County, Texas (1960-1963). In 1953, he followed his brothers Cline and Harold into overseas mission work in Rome and [[Pisa]], Italy. Self-taught in the [[Italian language]] and with his knowledge of Scripture, research, and publications, he became a sought-after lecturer in Italy and in other European cities. Upon his return to Lubbock in 1971, Gerald Paden joined the faculty of Sunset International Bible School, already in its ninth year of instruction since its establishment by his brother.<ref name=gpaden>{{cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lubbockonline/obituary.aspx?n=gerald-s-paden&pid=175333020&fhid=19536#sthash.EXD3pUGs.dpuf|title=Gerald Paden|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''|accessdate=July 21, 2015}}</ref>
