Current TNARS Oversight Department Members

Lawrence E. Bray - President
Pennsylvania, USA

Education:

• Miami International Seminary - Doctor of Divinity (meritus causa)

• The North American Reformed Seminary - Doctor of Ministry
  
• Mount Carmel Institute of Biblical Studies - Master of Ministry

Lawrence Bray is married with 3 children (2 girls and 1 boy). He is currently an Elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

Lawrence 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, occasionally preaching from the pulpit at his local church.

Lawrence 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.

Bill Bauerle - Vice President of International Affairs
Arizona, USA

Education:

• The North American Reformed Seminary - Doctor of Ministry

• Covenant Theological Seminary - Master of Arts in Theological Study

Bill has pastored several churches in the northwest. He has been married for 30 years, has two grown children and four 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.  Bill is currently a member in a local OPC church.

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.
