Brayton McBride
Youth Minister • Brayton McBride is prepared and looking for a position as a youth pastor. He has a BS in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Youth Ministry from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. Brayton comes recommended by Mike and Jodi Bunn and Rich Collingridge.
God has given Brayton a heart and a passion for people and building relationships, more specifically with youth. He believes the best leaders are those who serve and pour into those around them, continuously pushing them towards God’s will.
A calling, Brayton says, is not a single destination, but a lifestyle to live out—understanding the process of loving God, loving people, and reaching out into the community. It’s a lifestyle that shares that love any way possible, everywhere we go, with anyone we encounter.
