After seminary, Bryan and his family moved back to Lynchburg to begin working at Mercy’s sister church, where he served for five years. He then served as both an assistant and associate pastor at Mercy before being called as head pastor in February 2020.

Bryan and Kate have two children, Naomi and Charlie – both wonderful blessings from God! Their family ministers to the community through foster care, and they’ve had the privilege of caring for 5 additional children in long-term placements. Bryan enjoys fixing houses (he’s flipped/rehabbed 10 in total). He also loves playing basketball, coaching volleyball, watching his kids play sports, visiting the National parks, and spending summers outside at the lake.
