Worship Pastor
Pastor Brent has been serving at LIFE since2018, and became the worship pastor in 2021. He is a husband to Erika and a father to Mackenzie. He was called to serve the Lord as a sophomore in high school, when the Lord opened a door for him to serve through music. At the time, he didn’t fully understand what it meant. After learning to play the keyboard, those skills quickly turned to helping lead worship at his dad’s church.
