Dr. Keith E. Yoder
Is Founder of Teaching The Word Ministries and an ordained minister who has been a professional educator, congregational leader, and ministry leader. He also serves on the Executive Team and Regional Council of the Regional Church of Lancaster County. During a season of transition from his place of employment, Keith "heard" the phrase rise within him: "Be a resource to pastors." Weeks passed and this impression strengthened. Keith realized the Lord was leading him into something without a framework, plan, or salary. Yet the phrase, "Be a resource to pastors" was reshaping and commissioning him. Keith's wife, Marian, confirmed the new mission was right for him. Employed in a ministry, also, she proposed, "Give yourself to this for a year, and if it doesn't work out, find a different job". That was over twenty years ago. Keith began accepting invitations to teach in congregations and meet with pastors in mentoring relationships. Four months later his schedule was full, and it has been ever since. Taking the first step to serve pastors locally has taken Keith's feet to serve and enrich not only pastors, but also directors of ministries and leaders in the marketplace in the local area, in neighboring regions, and in other nations. He has served on the Apostolic Team of Heritage Fellowship Church since 2002. |
 | | Dr. Dale Fife Doctor D, as he is affectionately called, has served the Body of Christ for over forty-five years as a caring pastor, insightful teacher, gifted musician, and best-selling author. His zeal for the Lord has led him on an incredible journey from his first pastorate of a small rural Methodist Church in a coal-mining town outside of Johnstown, PA, to the co-founding of a large interdenominational and multiracial inner-city church in Pittsburgh, with Bishop Joseph Garlington and Pastor Dennis Carlson. As worship leader at the first outdoor Jesus Festivals numbering over 50,000, in the mid seventies, or in his present apostolic ministry speaking in churches, conferences, colleges, and men's and women's gatherings for leaders or intercessors in many nations, Dale's enthusiasm and hunger for God is contagious. His wisdom, maturity, and genuine spiritual concern for others have caused many to regard him as a "spiritual father" in the Lord. His insightful teaching has inspired and blessed thousands around the world. Dale's insatiable passion for intimacy with God led to the writing of his first book, The Secret Place, Passionately Pursuing God's Presence. This best-seller has blessed and encouraged many Christians to seek a closer walk with God. The sequel, The Hidden Kingdom, Journey Into the Heart of God, is making a significant impact upon the Church. He has served on the Apostolic Team of Heritage Fellowship Church since 2008. www.tphct.com
