Most Unusual Fact
Ed was Brad's pastor when he was one year old. Now Brad works with Ed. Small World isn't it?

What I like about being youth pastor @ First Baptist "Being able, not only to spend time with youth and parents, but with everyone at FBC. Leading the youth in discussion and going places with them, being welcomed into anything the Senior Adults are doing, listening to the exciting stories our children have to tell, gleaning tidbits of wisdom from everyone I encounter on this journey, all of these great things volumes to the amount of love and fellowship that flood this church."
