Pastors of Praise Tabernacle
Pastor Steven Iannuccilli Jr.
Since he was born in the same year that the church was incorporated, Pastor Steven has grown up in
and with the church. From a young child he exemplified the leadership qualities needed for success
in ministry. Pastor Steven started to use these leadership qualities in 2001, when he began working
with the youth at Praise Tabernacle. During this time Pastor Steven was trained and equipped for
ministry by his father, Pastor Steven Iannuccilli, Sr. A few years later, a revival broke out in the
youth ministry and many lives were changed forever. Then in 2005, after his father passed away,
Pastor Steven was ordained and named the chairman of the board at Praise Tabernacle. The mantle
had been passed and a new era began. Pastor Steven has a powerful anointing to preach and teach
the word. His messages have been a timely prophetic sound for the many who hear it. Another thing
that was passed down from his father was a true Shepherd’s heart. Pastor Steven has a genuine love
for people and has committed himself to serving them. He has used his spiritual vision to prepare
God’s people for what the Lord is about to do on the earth. Pastor Steven’s desire is to bridge the
gap between many races and generations of believers in order to bring God’s grace, love and power to
this city as well as the nation.
Pastor Anthony Filliponi
In 1982, Pastor Anthony had a supernatural encounter with God while in a Canadian prison. That year
he was radically saved and delivered from a lifestyle of drugs and alcohol. He then committed his life
to bringing God’s perfect love to a world of lost people. Pastor Anthony shortly after became part of
the staff at Praise Tabernacle. He was named the Administrative Assistant to Pastor Steven
Iannuccilli, Sr. Pastor Anthony and his wife Carol Ann continued working with him faithfully for over
20 years. In 2004, Pastor Anthony was ordained a Pastor. Since then his role as an administrator as
well as in church management have been enlarged. However, his ministry has also expanded as well.
He is now the director of the Evangelism ministry as well as leading and training all of the church
outreach teams. Pastor Anthony is determined to bring the message of unconditional love to
everyone he meets. He has the true heart of an evangelist.
Pastor Sharon Iannuccilli-Burke
In 1973, Pastor Sharon was saved in the midst of revival on Long Island. She immediately dedicated
her life to the work of the lord. Whether she was volunteering to clean the church or going to
Germany as a missionary for Teen Challenge Eurasia, Christ became her everything. In 1979 Pastor
Sharon received a bible certificate from Valley Forge Christian College for theological studies. She
knew that she wanted to spend her life helping hurting people. In 1983, Pastor Sharon and her husband Pastor Steven Iannuccilli founded The Praise Tabernacle Inc., a church that was and is dedicated to help broken people find Christ. As a worshiper, she is a natural at leading and directing the music-ministry. Besides ministering in music, God has given her the gift of a teacher as well as a strong prophetic anointing. Then in 2006, Pastor Sharon founded another ministry, which she is the director of called Rose Among Thorns. This is a ministry geared toward women as well as women of ministry. Through Rose Among Thorns, she realized a life long dream and opened Rose Cottage, a home for teenage girls. Even though she has accomplished so much, Pastor Sharon still has many more dreams and visions she is determined to achieve. However, her greatest achievement is raising her 4 children to serve Jesus.
Pastor Paul Iannuccilli
Although he is young in age Pastor Paul has served faithfully in the house of God for many years. You could say that he is a young veteran in the ministry. He started serving as a leader in the youth ministry in 2001. He was a critical part of the revival that took place in the young people. During this time Pastor Paul grew as a leader and learned the importance and power of prayer. In 2007, while seeing a void, Pastor Paul felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to take over the youth ministry. Even though he is soft-spoken and humble, the call of God is very apparent on his life. So, in 2008 Pastor Paul was ordained as a pastor at Praise Tabernacle. Since that time God has used him to train up a whole new generation of youth as well as to bring in the second wave of revival in the young people. It has become the obsession of his life to see this generation stop being deceived by this world and to know the real power of God.
