"Life Change Happens Here!"

Bryan has a family history of connections to Hanoverdale church and is excited to be ministering in a place that is so special to the strong, Christian heritage his family raised him in.  He grew up just a few miles north of Harrisburg, PA along the banks of Clark’s Creek with a love for all things outdoors, as well as, sports and music.  After high school he pursued a degree in ministry at LBC and for the next couple decades life / relationships / ministry would keep him tied to Lancaster County.  During that season Bryan had a bright career in the egg industry as a plant manager, but God would call Him to step out of that world to enter into full-time ministry, which would lead him to completing his degree, becoming a licensed minister through the Brethren in Christ denomination, and seeing many fruitful years of ministry in Elizabethtown alongside his beautiful wife, kids, and many good friends.  Bryan loves to use the highs and lows of his journey to testify to the goodness of the faithful God who never leaves or forsakes us, but rather, comes alongside us through all life’s challenges as we grow and mature in Christ. Bryan was married to his wife, Kristin, in 2014 and they love raising, what he refers to as, their “crazy, big, beautiful, blended family” of 7 kids! Bryan isn’t just a family ministry pastor, but he lives out family ministry every day in his home. Bryan is passionate about building teams of volunteers from every generation for kingdom impact and for seeing families and churches help kids / youth come to a place of owning their faith through a thriving, growing, personal relationship with Jesus!
