 About Our Pastor

Brief Biography of Associate Pastor Pearson

Born in Lincoln, Alabama, but raised and educated in Warren, Ohio, Rev. Dr. Neal Pearson is the eldest son born to Earnest and Florrie Pearson. Neal was baptized at the age of 12, and recalls a sense of closeness to God after this experience.

He was ordained a Deacon at 26 years old on Friday the 13th at the Friendship Baptist Church of Warren, Ohio where Rev. William K. Richardson was the Pastor. He graduated from Kent State University in 1982 with a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering Technology and moved to Massachusetts to work for Digital Equipment Corporation in 1983.

He and his family joined the St. John’s Baptist Church of Woburn, Massachusetts in 1983 and soon became involved in a number of church endeavors. In 1986 he joined the Deacon Board and became its Chairman in 1988. Neal served in that position until 1991 when he answered his call to preach the word of God. He has also served as the New Building Co-Chair, Director of the Capital Stewardship Program, Trustee and Chairman of the Board of Trustee, Adult Sunday-School Teacher, Prayer and Share Bible Study facilitator and musician for all the choirs.

He is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and the Center for Urban Ministerial Education (CUME), where he received his Masters of Arts in Urban Ministry, with a concentration in Religious Education in 1996. In 2003 he received his Master of Divinity Degree which was followed by a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in May 2005. Rev. Dr. Pearson, who serves as the Associate Pastor of St. John’s Baptist Church, currently resides in Groton, Massachusetts with his wife, Esther whom he’s been married to for over 30 years.
