A word from Pastor Daus: "God is doing some really amazing things here. His vision for our church is true, Biblical revival. Our focus for 2010 is 'Reaching with Revival - to see God move in a powerful way in our world.' We're thankful to be a part of God's world, and desire to be followers of Christ who serve locally and globally. Join us as we seek to reach our world . . .beginning right here in Gum Branch."
Clint Brogdon served at churches in Florida and Georgia before becoming our Associate Pastor in April 2001. Within this role he has been able to focus much of his time and attention on Education and Student Ministries, and it is in working with youth that Clint finds fulfillment in his calling. Clint holds a B.A. from The Baptist College of Florida, and is joined in ministry by his wife Lauren and son Matthew.
"God's hand is at work in our Student Ministry, we are seeing lives transformed. Our theme for Student Ministry is 'LEAP' as we continue to encourage students to trust God with all of their heart, mind and soul. I invite you to come and check out what God is doing in students' lives here at Gum Branch." -Clint
Keith Beasley joined our staff as our music minister October 3, 2008. He is a lifelong resident of Georgia. He graduated from Georgia Southern University in 1991 with a degree in finance. Before coming to Gum Branch, Keith was full time in the insurance and financial services industry. He had also been part-time music director for two other churches. In March of 2010, Keith answered the call from God and was ordained as a minister of the Gospel. Keith has been married to Carole since 1993 and they have two children, Hannah and Joshua.
A word from Keith: "I absolutely love to lead people in the worship of our Lord. Music is such a great tool to help focus our attention on Him and is what I want each time we meet---to worship Him---not the style of music, but HIM. As long as He gives me breath, I will worship Him in song and will lead others to do the same."
