Evangelist. Educator. Humanitarian. Pastor.

About Pastor Rod Parsley

You may already know of Rod Parsley — as a TV host, evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman. At WHC, you’ll come to know him simply as Pastor.

Rod Parsley was 19 when he first led a Bible study in his parents’ backyard. Since then, he’s built one of the most important and far-reaching Christian ministries in the United States.

This New York Times best-selling author has successfully advocated for federal legislation, delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of food and medical supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the world, and changed the lives of thousands who will shape the cultural landscape in the next generation.

If none of those opportunities had ever presented themselves, though, he’d still be Pastor Parsley — sharing God’s Word with central Ohioans and helping them know God as he does.

Pastor Parsley is the author of more than 200 books and study guides. They include: Pentecost If…, which will stir you to fan the flames of pentecost, and Idolatry in America, which reveals the deadly grip of sin and how to repent and seek God for a spiritual awakening in our nation.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Christian University in Circleville, Oh, and a doctorate from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. He and his wife, Joni, are the parents of two adult children, Ashton and Austin.
