Rev. Denis Frediani is the Pastor of the Evangelical Congregational
Church of Tyngsboro, MA., and the Director of Prison Aftercare
Resources for Vision New England.
He has a Bachelors Degree in Bible from Gordon
College and a Masters Degree in Christian Education from Denver
Seminary. He has been in the pastoral ministry for over 28 years and
has had a mentoring ministry for some 24 years. He has had the
privilege of training many men for leadership in the local church
and of intensively mentoring a number of men, several of whom are in
some aspect of vocational ministry.
Denis is an adjunct Professor of Discipleship in Community
at Bethel Seminary of the East.
Pastor Frediani believes that the local church is central
in God's plan for the world (Mat. 16:18). He considers discipleship and
mentoring to be a crucial part of the local church (2 Tim. 2:2). That
is because a spiritual leader is called to "equip the saints for the work of the
ministry" (Eph. 4:10f). He seeks to accomplish this through a
mentoring process that produces leaders to aid in shepherding the
Church and who can effectively impact their marketplace and
neighborhood for the glory of God. Since he also has the gift of
teaching, Pastor Frediani seeks to make even difficult truths and
passages both understandable and relevant.
