Tom Bennardo is a four-decade ministry veteran whose experience spans the spectrum—church planter, lead pastor, mentor and coach, conference speaker, author, and denominational leader. He holds an MDiv from Grace Theological Seminary and a doctorate from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He currently serves as Executive Director of Church Leadership and Multiplication for the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches, where he provides training, equipping, and spiritual direction for current and emerging pastors—and is a sought-after speaker, seminar leader, and consultant. A New York City native, Tom is an avid sports fan who lives and (mostly) dies with the New York Mets and Jets, and a mediocre athlete whose past accomplishments grow greater in his mind with every passing year. Tom and his wife Marcia have been married 40 years and have two grown daughters. He’s never surfed, but resides in San Clemente, CA for the view.
