Join us for a Special Service to Welcome Our New Pastor!

Sunday, December 1st | 10:00 AM
Let's gather together to support and pray for them as they begin this exciting new chapter in ministry with us!
Bryant was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in the Garden State of New Jersey. His family later relocated to Tennessee, where he would spend the majority of his life. It was during his high school years in Tennessee that Bryant experienced a life-changing encounter with the Lord, which set the course for his future in ministry.
With a deep sense of calling, Bryant pursued higher education in theological studies. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, where he developed a strong foundation in biblical teaching and ministry. He continued his academic journey by completing a Master’s degree at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, further refining his skills for church leadership and service.
Throughout his ministry, Bryant has served in a variety of pastoral roles, including as a Lead Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Youth Minister, each of which has deepened his passion for serving God's people and sharing the Gospel. His experiences have given him a well-rounded perspective on the life of the church, from shepherding congregations to nurturing young hearts in faith.
Bryant and his wife, Madeline, are actively involved in ministry together and are coming from Memphis, Tennessee. Madeline has a Masters of Public Health from Emory University and is currently working as a Research and Data Analyst at University of Memphis. They share their home with their two beloved dogs, Hershey and Brother, who are an integral part of their family. Together, Bryant and Madeline are committed to integrating into a new community and growing in their walk with the Lord, all while building lasting relationships and fostering a spirit of love and service with their new church family.
