Ministry

Gifted with a shepherd’s heart and a scholar’s mind, Dr. Nicholas Pearce is an internationally sought-after preacher, teacher, and leadership developer whose ministry has been trusted across cultural, generational, and denominational boundaries. A passionate preacher, thoughtful biblical expositor, and proven leadership developer, God has used Dr. Pearce to touch tens of thousands of lives around the world.

A proud native of Chicago’s South Side, Dr. Pearce was raised in the historic Apostolic Church of God (ACOG), where he learned how to serve God and God’s people beginning at the tender age of three. He was baptized at age six, called to the ministry at the age of seven, and entered public ministry at age 17 under the tutelage of his childhood pastor and spiritual father, the legendary Bishop Arthur M. Brazier. In 2012, Dr. Pearce was appointed to the office of Assistant Pastor by Dr. Byron Brazier, making him the youngest minister to serve ACOG in that role since the church’s founding in 1932. Following his tenure at ACOG, Dr. Pearce was privileged to serve Bishop Horace Smith and Chicago’s Apostolic Faith Church In a one-year assignment as their Associate Pastor. His commitment to loving God, loving God’s Word, and loving God’s people has made Dr. Pearce one of his generation’s most beloved and influential Christian voices.
