Al Tizon
Lead Pastor
I don’t quite know how to answer the question, “Where are you from?” because my family and I have lived in many different places, as close as Berkeley and as far away as Manila, Philippines, with stops in cities such as Seattle, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
My wife Janice and I have been married…a long time. Our four grown children and seven grandchildren bring us a lot of joy!
I earned a BA in Religious Studies and an MA in Church Leadership Studies both from Vanguard University of Southern California (Costa Mesa, CA) and a Ph.D. in Missiology from the Graduate Theological Union (Berkeley, CA). I write, teach, preach on my passions, which include the church’s call to peace, justice, reconciliation, and evangelism. If you want to know the books and some of the articles I’ve written, please visit my website www.draltizon.com. It’s my hope that all that thinking and writing serves the church in some way, as she serves the world in Christ’s name.
It’s good to be on the journey with the folks at Grace Fellowship in San Francisco!
