Know Christ and Make Him Known
James K. Pierce, III “Tommy”
God blessed me with the wonderful privilege of serving as Senior Pastor of Towering Oaks from April 1990 until retirement in October 2025. My chief responsibilities as Sr. Pastor included overall staff administration, vision casting, and preaching.
I graduated the University of Kentucky (1978), and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, receiving the Master of Divinity (1983) and Doctor of Ministry (1988) degrees, serving as Graduate Fellow in the Pastoral Ministries Division, contract teaching Preaching, voice and articulation.
I have had the privilege of organizing two mission churches into participating Southern Baptist Convention Churches and pastored churches in Chalmette, LA, and Covington, KY before pastoring Towering Oaks.
Other than being a pastor, my joy is leading groups on Holy Land Tours having been to Israel over 20 times.
