Week 1

Pierre Duplessis is the Senior Pastor of the Father's House in Rochester, New York. He is a pioneering leader with a dream of an authentic, adventurous community of Christ followers, who would engage disconnected people with the true message and genuine expression of God's Love.

He is originally from South Africa and is the son of a preacher man (who has preached in the same church for over 42 years!) After 10 years of quiet patience, he finally became an American citizen in May 2009. Standing beside him was his beautiful wife, Marlize, and their two children: Caleb age 10 and Chloe age 13.

Pierre is a passionate visionary, a worshiper, a man filled with joy and totally commited to this cause! He is also a gifted communicator who has a no-hold-barred communication style. He brings relevance to every message and has been known to push the envelope when he is on stage. Fire? Paint? Explosives (no - not the real ones), headstands, 300 bottles of honey (don't ask) or mousetraps (don't ask again). These tools can all be used to help drive in any point he is trying to make for his message.

Yet with all this, there still another gift he holds in high regard. The wisdom and the honest council of his leaders, Elders and Pastors. He knows that ministry cannot be carried alone, so he surrounds himself with those who have complementing strengths. And when trouble comes his way , he only has one approach! "NO PROBLEM!".
