"Spiritual Authority is rooted in identity, expanded in intimacy and activated by faith."

Rev. Dr. Reimer is Professor of Pastoral Theology at Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY. and the founding pastor of South Shore Community Church in Massachusetts. He is the founder of a ministry called Renewal International.
Dr. Reimer is also an accomplished author. His books include Soul Care, River Dwellers, Spiritual Authority, Calm in the Storm, Deep Faith and Pathways to the King.
