Pastor Philip Viall received his call to ministry at the age of six when watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” It took him more than 40 years to answer that call, but God works in God’s time. He is also a Professor Emeritus of Computer Engineering at UMass Dartmouth. His sermons bridge the time between Jesus and the current day. He has also posed as various characters for messages including John the Baptist, Nicodemus, Barabbas, Judas, Pontius Pilate, a Roman Centurion, a childhood friend of Joseph, and on the lighter side, the Grinch.
