Lead Pastor:
Brad Snipes
Brad is husband to Brooke and father to Ava Kate and Nora Gray. He went to Columbia International University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in youth ministry and bible. He was a youth pastor for 8 years before stepping away from full-time ministry. During his time away from full time ministry, God began to renew his passion for the Universal Church and its true purpose. God gave Brad a heart for His word and the importance of centering every message and service around His Word.
After wrestling with God for more than two years, Brad accepted God’s calling to start a church in Brevard, North Carolina. His heart is to expose believers to a deeper more fulfilling relationship with Jesus by clearly teaching straight from the Word of God, providing opportunities to do life with other believers and to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the community around them.
