Pastor Rod sensed a call to ministry while a young boy.  After high school Rod went to college for pastoral ministry and began pastoring after he graduated.  Rod continued his education at Evangelical School of Theology.  During his first 10 years of ministry he pastored in Pennsylvania, Kansas and Alabama.  Rod has lived in Georgia for almost 20 years.  Rod’s family along with Greg Porter’s family started West Town Community Church.  The church was started in a store-front and is now located in the heart of Evans with an attractive and user friendly facility on 10 acres.  

Rod and his wife Vangie have been married 33 years.  They have been in pastoral ministry for 30 years.  They have two grown children, two children still at home and a grandson.  

Rod is a motorcycle enthusiast.

Brandon moved to Evans with his family in 2009 and was led to West Town shortly after moving, and has been here ever since.  Several years after joining WTCC and in active involvement with our Celebrate Recovery ministry and in membership classes, Brandon felt a significant call into the ministry in 2014, and he officially began the process towards ordination in 2015. 

Brandon was born in Lansing, Michigan and remained there until joining the US Army in 2001.  He served for 11 years as a member of the Armed Forces and has deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan.  He served as a paratrooper and jumpmaster, and he is also a linguist, maintaining proficiency in two languages, Arabic and Pashto…so he loves getting into “what does this really mean” type of conversations. 

Brandon was married to his wife Jessica in 2005 and they have two boys, Brody and Jameson, and a daughter, Lea Evangeline.

He is an avid University of Michigan football fanatic
