Greetings friend,
My name is Bryan. I have been the pastor of Hebron church
since June 25, 2007. On that day my wife Pattie, daughter Anna and son Bryan
drove into the beautiful landscaped campus of Hebron church and parsonage. We
were greeted, just like you will be, by God’s loving people. Hebron has the
feel of being at home. The folks are glad to welcome you and to get to know you
in a variety of settings ranging from worship services, to Sunday School, to
covered dish meals, to Fall Festivals, to Hee Haw programs, to small group
ministries like women’s or men’s or youth groups. We love it here and know that
you will too.
My short biography includes a B.A. degree and a Master of
Divinity degree from Duke University and four years of military service in the
United States Army. I was ordained an Elder in the North Carolina Conference of
the United Methodist Church in 1994. My greatest joy is to know that God loves
me, just as I am. My greatest comfort is to know that Jesus Christ, God’s only
begotten son, loved me enough to give His life on my behalf to satisfy God’s
righteous judgment against my sin(s). My greatest challenge is to know that God
wants me to continue to grow in my knowledge of Him and to become like Him as I
see His Divine character in Jesus. My greatest assurance is to know that God
does not leave me on my own to accomplish this growth in knowledge and
character, but that He has given me His Holy Spirit to be my helper and
enabler. I believe that the Bible is the absolute Truth. It communicates the
person and mind and heart of the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe that when we die, we take none of our
accomplishments or acquisitions with us. But what we do take with us are the
things that have eternal value. We should therefore store up treasure in heaven
such as experiences and relationships that have sprung forth from the love of
God that lives within us. I am most grateful to God for my family, for without
them I would be lost. With them I have the joy of sharing the richness of life
lived in and through our faith in Jesus Christ. I am also truly grateful to God
for my church family with whom I have the same joys. Friend, I hope you will
experience that joy with us. Our door is always open. As the sign out front
says, “All are welcome”.
