Tommy Barnett is the senior pastor of Phoenix First. The church is known as “The Church with a Heart” because of its over 275 active outreach ministries. The Story of Phoenix First has been guided by the hand of God every step of the way. When Pastor Barnett came to the church over 30 years ago Phoenix First quickly became one of the largest churches in America.
Pastor Tommy Barnett’s life is an example of commitment to reaching out to others and training leaders in church growth and outreach. For this he has become known as a “pastor’s pastor”. His tenacity and refusal to step down from a challenge have inspired him to take unprecedented leaps of faith in ministry, and by example to encourage pastors and leaders around the world to spread the love of God and change the lives of many through a relentless spirit of servanthood.
In 2011 Pastor Barnett transitioned from the lead pastor role to the senior pastor and set in his son Luke Barnett as the lead pastor. Pastor Luke shares the same values and vision as his father and passionately leads Phoenix First into the next stage of effective ministry.
Great days are ahead.
