Brent, his wife Dr. Kimberly, and son Christian joined St. Andrew’s Parish United Methodist Church on July 3rd, 2022.  At that time Brent was beginning his 9th year of ministry.  Brent is a committed United Methodist Pastor who believes that in a world bent on condemnation, the UMC has a sacred mission to provide a church that keeps the Love and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ at its core.  He truly believes that all means all and desires that our whole church would continue to make progress toward Loving like Jesus!

Brent holds a Master of Science Degree, in Human Resource Management, from Troy University and a Master of Arts, in Education Leadership and Administration, from the University of Phoenix.  He has held leadership positions in the United States Navy throughout a 20-year career and in Education for 14 years prior to his call to Pastoral Ministry.  Kimberly is a Dr of Chiropractic and a Functional Medicine Practitioner and is excited about being intimately involved in the church and its ministries.  Christian is interested in many things and looks forward to getting a young adult ministry going at St. Andrews Parish UMC!

The whole family looks forward to serving and living out their life of faith with all who choose to come to St. Andrews Parish UMC, and are committed to doing it with open minds, open hearts, and open doors!  If you are reading this and thinking about attending, come as you are and expect to be loved and accepted just as you are!
