BISHOP BART PIERCE

Bishop Bart Pierce serves as the Senior Pastor of Rock City Church, located in Baltimore, Maryland. Growing, vibrant, and with an international/multi-racial expression, Rock has a vision for what God is doing in the world today. The church has a unique calling to reach out to the lost and hurting. In addition, seeing the next generation run after God is at the heart of his ministry. His wife, Coralee, currently serves as Pastoral Assistant to her husband.  

Bishop Pierce is the Co-Founder of Global Compassion Network, which is made up of organizations from around the world including Operation Blessing, Somebody Cares International, World Relief, Operation Compassion and many others. He also provides apostolic oversight to churches in the Ukraine, Ghana, and Madagascar, as well as domestically here in the States.   He has pioneered and is president of several compassion ministries. They include:

• Adopt A Block – a program focused on taking the city of Baltimore back block by block.

• Can Can Make a Difference – a program for the impoverished that distributes food year-round at no charge. 

• Nehemiah House - a shelter for homeless men which gives a fresh start men who were formerly tormented by lives of drugs, alcohol and crime.

• The Hiding Place - a home which cares for pregnant women and women in crisis situations.

In January of 1997, Rock City Church experienced a mighty outpouring of God’s Presence.  People came from around the world to seek God’s face and many experienced miraculous healings, deliverances and renewed relationships with the Lord.  As a result, Bishop Pierce has had many opportunities to form relationships with pastors and leaders. He has a passion for seeing the body of Christ unite together both locally and world-wide. He works to promote unity in the city of Baltimore by fostering relationships with area pastors and their congregations.  He functions as the president of Peace For The City, a coalition of Baltimore metropolitan pastors that began in 1997. In October of 2002, he was instrumental in heading up a Prayer Gathering at Camden Yards Stadium called One-Won. It was a powerful display of unity as more than 100 pastors joined together with their congregations to pray for the city of Baltimore.  

Currently, Bishop Pierce is an active member of ICA (International Coalition of Apostles) as well as the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (founded by Dr. Peter Wagner and Cindy Jacobs). He served on the executive board for the CallDC, a gathering of over 300,000 youth in September 2000.   He was the National Youth Coordinator for Washington For Jesus, 1980 and was on the executive board of WFJ 1988 and 1996. He has appeared numerous times on CBN and has spoken in many churches and conferences throughout the world.

Bishop Pierce has authored a book titled, “Seeking Our Brothers” which shares his heart for “the ones that nobody wants” and gives practical insight on how to start and maintain compassion ministries.  He is also a contributing author of the books: “Hosting the Holy Spirit”, “Destiny of a Nation” and “Mary’s Prayers and Martha’s Recipes”.
