About the Author…

In Matthew 7:16a we read, “by their fruit you will recognize them…” For those who
have met me personally, I would suggest that God’s word be used as a measure of
who I am.

For those I have not had the pleasure to meet, here’s a bit about me… Husband,
father, grandfather, and pastor. Lover of Christ and student of His Word. One
who loves prayer and meditation as pure means of communication with God.

Called to the ministry of His Word after having spent 17 years in corporate

America, working as an Operations Manager for two of the giants of the
communication industry, and also taught at both the middle school and college
levels. Served as a deacon and elder for over six years before ordination.
Ministered as a servant in the capacities of associate pastor, pastor of counseling
and senior pastor for many years (all in the greater New York area) before heeding
God’s call to South Carolina, where I served as an Executive/Discipleship Pastor
for four and a half years.

I have been blessed academically having completed a Bachelor of Arts in American
History, a Master of Education in Technology, a Master of Ministry in Biblical
Counseling and a Doctorate in Practical Theology with a concentration in Biblical
Counseling. I hold certification through the International Association of Biblical
Counselors.

God has been very good to me!

Shalom,
Rev. Dr. John Tierno
