Current TNARS Oversight Department Members

President
Lawrence E. Bray, Th.D., D.D.
Pennsylvania, USA

Dr. Bray is married with 3 children (2 girls and 1 boy). He is currently a Deacon at his local church and in training for Elder. His denominational affiliation is with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

Dr. Bray has several ministries that he is involved with including: Leading Youth Group, preaching at nursing home, working with ministries in Africa to ensure they have Bibles and adequate academic training, occasionaly preaching from the pulpit at his local church.

Dr. Bray has joined TNARS because he is a firm believer in academically rigorous Christian education, and that all should have an opportunity for such education regardless of financial means. His prayer is that TNARS will bring much glory to God as we train up men to minister in His name and that TNARS will advance God's kingdom through education.


Vice President
Bill Bauerle, M.A.T.S. 
Arizona, USA

Bill has pastored several churches in the northwest. He has been married for 29 years, has two grown children and three grandkids. He has taught Worldview and Bible honors classes at a high school in Orlando Fl and is presently Director of Coram Deo Study Center in Flagstaff AZ. 

Having the pleasure of pastoring small rural congregations, Bill is convinced that TNARS can train men for ministry without the debt load that makes pastoring a small congregation tough. The country is full of small congregations that need well trained ministers. Bill's vision is that TNARS would be a resource that can make that happen.
