Journey into Ministry
God has blessed Dr. Pearce to touch tens of thousands of lives across cultural, generational, and denominational boundaries with the timeless truth of God’s Word. His journey in ministry and service began at the historic Apostolic Church of God when he was just three years old. He was baptized at age six and called to the ministry at age seven. At seventeen, he entered public ministry under the tutelage of his mentor and pastor, the legendary Bishop Arthur M. Brazier. In 2012 he was appointed as Assistant Pastor, becoming the youngest minister to serve the Apostolic Church of God in that role since the church’s founding in 1932.
