Love Consciousness Brian Toliver

Brian Toliver was born in Ft. Myers, Florida, and raised in Central NJ. At the age of only seventeen, Brian attended Howard University and later transferred to Monmouth University. It was while attending Monmouth that God gave him a vision for His life. Answering the call on his life, he entered the ministry as a Baptist. He became heavily involved in Intervarsity Campus Ministry and help found a newly formed gospel choir. This ministry led to traveling and speaking throughout New Jersey in various churches. He also took the word to the streets of New Jersey, leading those who would listen and held frequent Bible Studies in Asbury Park and Trenton. To better understand the scripture, Brian began to study the Greek and Hebrew language. This fulfilled his desire to have studies that are more comprehensive in the Hebrew and Greek translation of the Bible. Through the Bible Studies, God used Brian to disciple a number of people. Many of which, he mentored them into their own ministry. While at Howard University Brian met his lifelong partner, Doresa and married in 1982. They settled in South Jersey and raised three children; Yashar, Kristen, and Danielle. Brian and Doresa served as ministry leaders for the married couples group, "Covenants Couples" for several years at The Christian Life Center in Pennsville NJ. Here he also had the opportunity to travel with the church to Israel to study and tour historical and biblical events.
