AN INTERVIEW WITH
PASTOR BRAD

Q - Where's Home?

A - Can you believe I was born (New London, CT, 1956) and
      raised (Ledyard, CT) here?  God sent me back home from
      ministry in Massachusetts to begin this church in 1989.

Q - Tell us about your college experience.

A - After graduating from Zion Bible Institute in Rhode Island,
      where I met Debbie, I traveled to Springfield, Missouri and
      graduated from Central Bible College in 1978.  Now I am
      slowly pursuing my Master's.

Q - ...and your family?

A - The greatest gift I have ever received, besides my salva-
      tion, is my wife Debbie.  We have been married since 1978
      and have 1 daughter, Lindsay, who is studying interior
      design in NYC.

Q - Tell us about your job.

A - As the Sr. Pastor my role is to pray and provide direction for
      the leadership and church as we seek to be, and achieve,
      all that God envisions for this church.  Of course, this means
      preaching, planning, and preparing all the time.

Q - We hear you like to ride.

A - You will often hear me say, "Give me a big motorcyle and
      the open road and I'm happy".  Currently, I own a 2000
      Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce that I bought last July.  Over
      the past few years I have taken trips throughout the West
      and even the Alps on motorcycle, with more trips planned.

Q - What drew you to ministry?

A - After becoming a Christian at age 16, the only thing I wanted to do was serve God with my whole heart.  I really didn't know what that looked like, but as I followed the Lord's direction He has led me into the wildest ride a man could have!  Serving Him sure hasn't been boring!

Q - What would you do if you weren't in ministry?

A - I had planned to become an architect before God told me to build men instead of buildings.  If I hadn't moved down that path I would have liked to work on Wall Street.
