During their years in Walton, New York, Pastor Brad led his church’s ministry to local 1st-5th graders, and began sponsorship of LifeFOCUS, a week-long intensive discipleship program aimed at high school seniors and college students.
“Our society has drifted far from the Biblical absolutes that made her strong. My passion is restoring the means of God’s grace – like the reading and preaching of God’s Holy Word, the ministry of intercessory prayer, and the Biblical sacraments – to prominence in the hearts and minds of God’s people. Christ’s church simply must be central.” ~ Pastor Brad
