Brandon was born and raised in Portland, Texas and has served churches and nursing homes in the Coastal Bend area since 2015. Brandon began serving as the interim pastor in January 2020 and became the fulltime Pastor in May of Bethel Baptist Church in Ingleside, Texas. He and his wife Shay are the proud parents of two sons, Samuel (11) and Bennett (2). Brandon has a heart for God and His people, and he delights in serving and equipping God’s people for ministry. This follows his own philosophy of ministry and the mission statement of Bethel Baptist. This means to develop God’s people into Christ-like maturity and to equip the body of Christ to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. (Matthew 22:36-40 and Matthew 28:19-20)
The Plan: Lead the members of the church to make a great commitment to the great commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and the great commission Matthew 28:19-20) through the five vital experiences. 1. Worship – The celebration of God for who He is, what He has done, is doing, and for what we expect Him to do. (To love God with all our hearts is worship) 2. Evangelism – The communicating of God's word through word and deed evangelism. (To make disciples is evangelism) 3. Discipleship – The educating of God's people bringing them from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity in such a way that they are able to repeat that process with someone else. (To teach them all things… is discipleship) 4. Fellowship – The joining together of God's people for the mutual sharing of the love and life of Christ between believers. (To baptize is to include in fellowship) 5. Ministry – Meeting the needs of others through love. (To love your neighbor as yourself is ministry)
