Pastor Ronnie Pierce, D.D., founder of Monterey Worship Center and the president of Ronnie Pierce Ministries, Incorporated, is a vibrant, anointed evangelist / singer. He has spent more than half of his life flying from his home in Tennessee across the United States and beyond on speaking and singing engagements. Ronnie's ministry, whether in song or the spoken Word, is powerful and God-given.Ronnie was born-again at the age of seven (March 1972) behind an old woodshed as his mother, Ms. JoAnna Pierce led him in the sinner's prayer following a supernatural visitation when Jesus came to him calling him to an end-time deliverance ministry. A Baptist youngster at the time, Ronnie found himself hungering for more. November 5, 1978, at the age of fourteen, Ronnie received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4). Immediately upon receiving this wonderful promise, the Gifts of the Spirit (1Corinthians 12:8-10) began fluently moving in and through this yielded vessel with phenomenal healings, miracles, signs, and wonders, and a prophetic ministry with pin-point accuracy; profound wisdom, and a discernment that far surpassed his years.Ronnie's testimony is a personal witness to the healing power of God. He grew up regarding himself as the black sheep of the family (as did many others). With even less than no self-esteem or self-worth, faced constantly by enormous mountains of rejection, he distanced himself to life and prayed for death! Overcome by depression, tired of the fight, he endured what seemed unbearable.Suffering mental torment and physical anguish seemed to be a way of life for Ronnie. There were growths and lesions on various parts of his body, spinal deformities from birth, emotional disorders, liver malfunctions, and the discomfort of numerous surgeries. What the surgeons couldn't see were the scars and the shame of unwelcome childhood abuses buried deep within the heart.The only answer to be found came from the Word of God which said, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Mt. 19:26) With faith in God, he attended a healing service where MICKEY JORDAN, a powerful woman of God brought forth the Word with signs following! As she spoke by the Spirit, she spoke prophetically of someone who would receive their healing and that the same power that flowed through her hands into the people would go into this persons body and that as they received their healing, God would anoint them to go out and do a great and mighty work for Him.The next thing he knew, she was standing in front of him and before the tip of her finger could touch his forehead, he was slain in the Spirit. What felt like liquid light was being poured into him with full-force. Sure enough, he was made whole by the healing power of God and without delay, miracles were happening all around him, people were seeking him out for special prayer which opened wide the doors of ministry for this young minister in his early teenage years.With the supernatural power of God mightily at work in his life, he was thrust into full-time ministry as the needs of the people proposed a demand on the gifts in his life. It was no surprise that his first sermon was entitled, I AM PERSUADED! taken from the book of Romans 4:21: And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Ronnie Pierce is fully persuaded! He has a tremendous impact on all who hear him. He can and does stir others to reach for God's best, because he does, to rise and be healed, because he did, and to be victorious over all the power of the enemy, because he is.Ronnie was ordained by DR.

These qualities, combined with the Gifts of the Spirit which operate in and through him make him a very rare and special gift. Ronnie would rather be 'something' and not be called it; than to be called it, and not really be it! Known far and wide for the countless thousands of lives he's touched with compassion, strength, understanding, and healing, Ronnie is loyal and generous in his labors of love, always dealing with each life with great sincerity and grace.From humble beginnings to being one of todays most in-demand speakers, he has ministered with many of the greatest leaders of our day. He has appeared on numerous television shows and has received recognition for his ministry significance on many mainline TV shows and in top selling magazines. In addition to his many appearances on Christian television and in guest spots on many radio broadcasts, also to his credit is his anointed teaching tape ministry, and his ministry in song; as a recording artist whose tapes and CD's have circulated far and wide and have received an enormous amount of airplay by radio stations around the country.Ronnie appreciates any opportunity which enables him to touch lives with the uncompromising Word of Faith, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the unconditional love he has for all humanity!
