Back in 2018, Brad and Cindy were not actively looking for a new church, but while renting a beach home in Ormond by the Sea for a month, they decided to worship at Gracelife Beachside. They fell in love with the Gospel culture that was preached and lived out there, and they felt called to become a part of the small but growing Gracelife family, becoming members in March of that year. In 2020, Brad accepted Pastor Jeff’s invitation to pursue eldership and has completed the first two phases of his training to be an elder. He is on track to complete the third and final phase of his training in 2022. Currently, Brad leads the New Members Class, and also serves Gracelife Beachside in various other ways, including providing his legal, administrative, and tax expertise on a pro-bono basis to the church. Cindy regularly serves in Children’s Ministry and together they lead a Gracelife Beachside home group that meets in their home. Brad is an attorney who has been practicing law in the greater Ormond/Daytona Beach area for over 20 years. He’s been married to his wife, Cindy, for 21 years, and together they have four children – Bryce, Owen, Joel and Daisy. Favorite Bible Verses: “But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33 “(May you be) strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” - Colossians 1:11-14 “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” - C.S. Lewis |
