Tommy Barnett

Tommy Barnett has been pastoring Phoenix First Assembly of God in Arizona for the last 30 years. In his first year as pastor, he saw his weekly attendance grow from 250 people to over 7000. The church now runs over 260 ministries and is committed to helping the needs of the local community. In 1994, Ps Tommy planted the Dream Center in downtown Los Angeles, with the vision to minister to gang members, drug addicts, single mothers, orphans and others needing the opportunity to “dream again”. The LA Dream Center now reaches 35,000 people per week, with Dream Centers now also operating in Phoenix and New York. A respected author, ministry advisor and preacher, we are honoured to be hosting Ps Tommy again at Life Conference 2011.

Since taking on leadership in 1994, they have seen unprecedented growth, with thousands now attending their weekly services in Manitoba and Calgary.

This is outworked through Springs Church, his podcasts, his weekly television show, broadcast across North America, the UK and other parts of the world, and his articles with The Winnipeg Sun and The Calgary Sun.
