Tal Sullivan: Lead Pastor

Tal  was well on his way to becoming a Physical Therapist when God began to redirect him and Gwen to what is now a wholehearted calling to pastoral ministry.  In 1995, a few years after being married, Tal and Gwen helped start a new church on Detroit's eastside, a life-changing experience that God used to call them into pastoral ministry.  In September 2001, the Sullivans came to Church of the King's very first service to support Pastor Brad Leach, the church's founding pastor, and were soon invited to be a part of the ministry team.  After serving for almost eight years as the Family Life Pastor, God led Tal to the responsibility of Lead Pastor when Brad resigned in order to follow God's leading to plant a church in Philadelphia.  Tal and Gwen have three children and are passionate about helping people be healthy and thriving in their walk with the Lord and their relationships with others.  They believe there is no one whose life cannot be incredibly changed by the love and power of God.
