Bishop Timothy J. Clarke is the visionary leader and Senior Pastor of First Church of God - Anderson in Columbus, Ohio. Under his dynamic and prophetic leadership, First Church has become a spiritual beacon at the local and national level.

Bishop Clarke was called to the ministry in January, 1974 and served as Associate Minister at First Church of God, in his hometown of Far Rockaway, New York, under his mentor, the late Dr. James E. Cray. Bishop Clarke began his pastorate at York Avenue Church of God (Warren, OH) in November, 1977; faithfully serving that congregation for four years.

In February, 1982, he was called to the Senior Pastorate of First Church of God (Columbus, OH). He was consecrated to the office of Bishop in September, 2001. In addition to his commitment and anointing as a pastor, Bishop Clarke willfully serves the Body of Christ as an evangelist and teacher. Bishop Clarke has received several honors and degrees for his service to the church and to the community at large which include: Master in Ministry, (Southern California School of Ministry, Los Angeles, CA); Doctor of Divinity (Mid-America Bible College, Oklahoma City, OK); Doctor of Law, (Southern California School of Ministry, Los Angeles, CA); Doctor of Humanities, (Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, OH) and Morehouse College Board of Preachers Inductee.

He has served on the boards of various community and political organizations: State of Ohio Victims of Crime Advisory Board, Columbus Urban League Board of Directors, United Way of Franklin County, Inter-racial Leadership Council, Clergy Leadership Task Force, Inter-Denominational Ministerial Alliance, President & CEO - New Beginnings Christian Community Revitalization Corporation.

Bishop Clarke has maintained a fellowship with the National Association of the Church of God (NACOG) serving in several leadership capacities including: President of the National Inspirational Youth Convention (NIYC); Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the General Assembly; President, Vice-President and Presiding Elder of the NACOG.

The author of seven books, Bishop Clarke ministers to our heart and encourages our soul through: "Signs of His Coming", "Help for Those Who Hurt", "Bring Back the Glory", "Daughter Don't Miss Your Season", "Living in the Blessed Place", "Making the Most of Your Time" and "Celebrating the Family: Lessons from the Book of Ruth".

Bishop Clarke and his lovely wife, Lady Clytemnestra Lawson Clarke of Teaneck, NJ are the parents of two adult daughters.

Dan Bohi is a lay person on whom a very special call to ministry has come to his life.  Dan says, "October 10, 2008 changed everything in my world. God's presence and direction confirmed a calling for my life. That call was to go wherever I am invited with a message that God wants his church to be free, pure, and filled with power." Since that time, Dan Bohi has spoken in 169 churches. He has been asked to speak on 39 districts in the Church of the Nazarene. In the last 21 months, Dan has received over 550 calls to speak. If you ask him what is happening, he simply says, "I don't know…all I know is that God is doing something that is far beyond my ability to describe."

As a speaker, Dan is unlike most. He reads the Bible through every 30 days and is able to quote much of it. He weaves the Scriptures together in a pattern that brings life changing news to people seeking more from life.

Over time, the church world has used a term like "anointing" with such imprecision and diversity, that it has lost its meaning for many. One encounter with Dan's ministry and the original meaning behind that term is recovered.

Dan Bohi will speak Tuesday morning, February 22, 2011 at M11 in the Kentucky International Convention Center, Louisville, KY.

Dr. Stan A. Toler is a general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene with an office at the Global Ministry Center in Lenexa, Kansas, USA.

He was chosen for the highest elected office in the church at the 27th General Assembly at Orlando, Florida, USA, in July 2009, after serving for 40 years as a pastor in Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, and Oklahoma.

Toler has written over 70 books, including his best-sellers, God Has Never Failed Me, But He's Sure Scared Me to Death a Few Times; The Buzzards Are Circling, But God's Not Finished With Me Yet; God's Never Late, He's Seldom Early, He's Always Right on Time; The Secret Blend; Practical Guide to Pastoral Ministry; The Inspirational Speaker's Resource; ReThink Your Life; and his popular Minute Motivator series.

Toler recently was given an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Southern Nazarene University.

He and his wife, Linda, an educator, have two sons, Seth and Adam, and one grandson, Rhett.

Robert Broadbooks serves as the Regional Director for the USA/Canada Region of the Church of the Nazarene, a position he has held since 2008.

Bob was born into the Church of the Nazarene in Nebraska and is an ordained elder. Prior to his work for the International Church of the Nazarene, he served as district superintendent of the Tennessee district for 6 years and the Alabama North district for 6 years. Each district moved forward under his leadership. Of particular satisfaction for him has been his involvement in the planting of 24 churches while serving as superintendent (8 Latino, 9 Anglo, 6 Black, 1 Korean).

For 20 years, Dr. Broadbooks served as pastor in four growing churches-Montrose First, Colorado; Denver Lakewood, Colorado; Hutchinson First, Kansas; and Tampa First, Florida.

He has a B.A. from MidAmerica Nazarene University, 1973; a M.Div. from Nazarene Theological Seminary, 1976; and a D.D. from MidAmerica Nazarene University, 2000. He has been a delegate to five General Assemblies. He has also served on numerous other local, district, and general church committees and boards.

He enjoys both preaching and writing and has contributed to several periodicals. His book, From Pastor to Pastor: Letters of Encouragement and Wisdom, was released by Nazarene Publishing House in 2003.

Throughout all of these ministry experiences, his wife, the former Carol Renee Powers, has been actively involved. She graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University with a degree in elementary education. For many years, she has been faithful to scripture memorization and intercessory prayer. Carol is often invited to speak at ladies' functions.

The Broadbooks have two children. Daughter Keely and her husband, Matthew Mullins, currently reside in Nashville. The couple are Trevecca graduates and have two sons, Maxwell and Malcolm. Son Lincoln Broadbooks is a student at Nazarene Theological Seminary, is married to Danielle, an employee of Nazarene Publishing House, and they reside in Olathe, Kansas.

Following nearly 38 years of pastoral ministry, J. K. Warrick was elected to the Board of General Superintendents by the 26th General Assembly held in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2005. He pastored churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, and Kansas. Prior to his election, he served for nearly 12 years as pastor of College Church of the Nazarene in Olathe, Kansas.

A pastor at heart, he considers his role as general superintendent an opportunity to join his colleagues in shepherding the global church. He has a heart for church planting, evangelism, world missions, discipleship, and compassionate ministries. Central to his ministry is the encouragement of the people of God to find a place of service and ministry in the church and community. He is passionate about equipping pastors and laypersons to be missional leaders.

After attending Southern Nazarene University (formerly Bethany Nazarene College) he later graduated from Trinity College. He is an alumnus of Wesley Biblical Seminary. In 1994 his alma mater, Southern Nazarene University (Bethany Nazarene College), honored him with a doctorate of divinity in recognition of his service to Christ and the Church of the Nazarene. He has served on the Boards of Trustees at Mount Vernon Nazarene University and MidAmerica Nazarene University and also has served on district boards and committees in the church.

Dr. Warrick has been married to Patty (Delores J. Ouzts) since 1967. They have two adult children, Brad and Jill, and four grandchildren.
