An Enduring Gift at the Heart of Ministry: How One Church Honored Their Longtime Pastor
Dec 4, 2024
Dr. Oleg M. Tsymbalyuk is an ordained and licensed pastor with over 30 years of experience in practical ministry, particularly in personal mentoring, church planting, conflict resolution, cross-cultural ministry, and multi-denominational cooperation. Oleg has pursued advanced education and extensive training, focusing on practical theology, ecclesiology, and expository teaching.
His research interest is in the connection between the paradigm of interpretation and the epistemology of the biblical narrative, which suggests a concern with understanding how our assumptions and beliefs about the nature of reality shape our understanding of biblical texts. This kind of inquiry is especially important in the study of theology and biblical interpretation, as it can help us be more aware of our own biases and limitations as we seek to understand and apply the teachings of the Holy Bible.
