Michael J. Tiry came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of twenty-nine. His deep appreciation for having the assurance of eternal life, his passion for study, and his quest for truth compelled him to search deeply into the Bible with a desire to learn its truth that he might present the riches of God’s grace to others. Over the last forty years Michael has been involved in itinerate preaching, a church planting ministry, and a teaching and preaching ministry at Berean Bible Church in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; Michael also serves Berean Bible Church as director of the Timothy Institute, designed to prepare men for leadership in local churches. Additionally, Mike has been active over the last fourteen years in a prison ministry. Michael and his wife of forty years, Linda, have raised five daughters.
