Meet Our Pastor
As a young teenager God first convicted my heart during a meeting held at my uncle's home. During the invitation, I remember raising my hand admitting I was lost. From that night forward I lived under conviction. Around the age of 15, I responded to an alter call and attended a church in Delta, PA. Things were going great, I was enthusiastic about serving the Lord, and I even began to wonder if God was calling me to preach. Unfortunately, as several unfortunate events seemed to unfold at once, I began to question God and found myself no longer attending church. The guilt which I still struggle with to this very day. As time went on, I journeyed further into darkness. Like a dog that returns to its vomit, I began drinking, abusing pain pills, smoking marijuana, and partying. For ten years I tried my hardest to quiet God's conviction with alcohol, drugs, and lasciviousness. But Jesus, came to my rescue.
In the midst of living out a southern rock lifestyle, God allowed me to marry my beautiful bride, Stephanie on May 11, 2013. On March 27, 2014 Steph and I found ourselves with our first little princess of three, Hopelyn. While holding our first baby girl for the very first time I remember thinking to myself, "I have never loved anyone like I love her". As soon as that thought crossed my mind, the Holy Spirit whispered, "I love you more". God used those four words to convict my heart like never before. On Sunday night, January 31, 2016 while a little girl sang, God wrecked my world and began to transform my life. The same God I was introduced to as a teenager caused me to be miraculously reborn as I knelt at the altar and wept in repentance. On March 30th, 2016 God graciously allowed me to announce being called to preach. Why God would ever bestow such a calling on my life eludes me. Why God would be so gracious to save me, let alone call me to preach, still blows my mind and I have no plans on getting over it any time soon.
On January 21st, 2018 I was voted in as the assistant pastor of the same church where I was rescued. Again, so undeserving and so awestruck by God's grace I began to journey into the life God had prepared for me. On April 7th, 2018 I was ordained into the ministry and served in my position ministering to people who have become lifelong friends. On October 10, 2021 I was voted in, unanimously, as the Senior Pastor of Mt. Calvary in Aberdeen, MD and currently serve some of the most spiritual and loving people God has ever allowed me to meet. Today, our church is living and breathing the supernatural blessings of God.
God has blessed Stephanie, Hopelyn, Annalee, Emmeline, and I beyond measure and we can't wait to see what God continues to do in our lives and in the lives of every person who receives the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It is my hearts deepest desire that God may give me the opportunity to serve you and your family in any capacity according to His will.
Love,
Pastor Brandon, Steph, Hopelyn, Annalee, and Emmeline
