Pastor Brad believes that churches should be about four primary tasks: • CONNECTING WORSHIP - Worship that connects us to God. • BUILDING LOVING COMMUNITY - We hope everyone knows that they are loved and valued. • TRANSFORMATION BY THE HOLY SPIRIT - We are called to live a changed life in Christ. • WORK TO CHANGE THE WORLD - We desire to help others in the world. Rev. Holliman is a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary (Mdiv) and Pfeiffer University (BA - Religion). He was Ordained as an Elder in the United Methodist Church at United Methodist Lake Junaluska in 2005, and has served multiple churches in North Carolina and Middle Tennessee.
