Each Thursday night at 6:30pm "The Bridge" meets together at Pastor Bryant and Madeline's home located at 800 W Fort Scott St in Butler. This is a group for young adults in the community who are interested in studying scripture together, fellowshipping with other young adults, and praying. Come check out The Bridge!
Bryant was born in Brooklyn, New York, raised in New Jersey, and later moved to Tennessee, where he spent most of his life. It was during his high school years in Tennessee that he experienced a life-changing encounter with the Lord, which led him to pursue a calling in ministry.
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in theological studies from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary and his Master’s degree from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, honing his skills in biblical teaching and church leadership.
Bryant has served in various pastoral roles, including Lead Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Youth Minister, which have deepened his passion for serving God’s people and sharing the Gospel. His diverse ministry experiences have shaped his holistic approach to church life, from shepherding congregations to mentoring young believers.
Bryant and his wife, Madeline, are actively involved in ministry and came to us from Memphis, Tennessee. They share their home with their two dogs, Hershey and Brother. Committed to growing in their walk with the Lord, they focus on building lasting relationships and fostering a spirit of love and service with their new church family.
