Pastor Tim Bunney hopped on to our staff as Lead Pastor on Easter Sunday in 2012. Pastor Tim attended the Long Island Bible Institute and finished in 1983. Pastor Tim enjoys spending time with his family, especially his 5 grandchildren, going camping, and working on his carpentry skills. A fun fact about our very own Pastor Tim is that when he was younger he did not want to be a pastor, he wanted to be a racecar driver! Luckily for all of us, God changed his mind and directed his path towards ministry. Pastor Tim aspires to be able to influence as many people as possible to get to heaven.   

Mike and Nikki have been leading the youth at Praise Assembly since August of 2022. Both have been involved with youth/young adult ministries, in volunteer capacity, for most of their lives. When the youth group at Praise was without a leader in the summer of 2022, Mike and Nikki reluctantly agreed to fill in until a new youth pastor was found. Within a few weeks, they both knew that was exactly where God wanted them and they are excited to continue leading. They even have several teenagers themselves, in their blended family. They love discipling students, taking them to PennDel youth events and just hanging out and having fun. They want all students, churched and unchurched to find a place here. Their heart's desire is to see the youth at Praise live lives on fire for Jesus...all while enjoying some good snacks.
