Reverend Berman is the founding and Senior Pastor of the Christian Life Fellowship Church in Swanzey, NH, and is ordained in the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church (C&MA). Pastor Berman has extensive ministry experience including church planting, training theological students, mentoring and consulting.

Reverend Berman also has vast business experience, public speaking, as well as extensive media experience. He has also pastored in a multi ethnic congregation in Connecticut.

Pastor Berman knows the problem with addiction and how it contributes to a downward spiral in relationships, and every aspect of life. He knows this personally as one who was an addict in his teenage years. Our Pastor is not a stranger to dealing with the most difficult problems that are the result of addiction, irresponsibility, and a whole host of self-destructive behaviors. As he likes to say “I have been an addict, I know what it feels like, I know the hopelessness, I know the pain and I know exactly what it does and how to get free.”

As a spiritual counselor, Reverend Berman has helped hundreds of people turn their lives around through the power of the Biblical principles he candidly teaches. His years as an addict, along with his extensive years of ministry service, gives him the necessary tools that helps him to see through the façade, and get right to the root causes of addiction.

Most important is this; Our Pastor loves people, has dedicated his life to, and has been committed to seeing people be set free for 30 years.
