Brad has a Kingdom Mentality, a Heart for Unity, and a Passionate Vision; a passion ignited in '96' when a group of pastors came together in unified prayer to seek God's heart for this city. God heard those prayers, revealing this strategic purpose -- 'That Anchorage would become a Christian city, a safe-haven for souls; a place to equip, supply, and send God people to the world.'
That vision continues to inspire, and in recent days God is fanning the flames of that vision, uniting us together as shepherds for the accomplishment of that God-given agenda for this great city!
