Meet our Pastor

Rev. Brandon Keck
Interim Pastor
We are thrilled to welcome Rev. Brandon Keck to Carrollton First UMC as our Interim Pastor! Rev. Brandon is passionate about ministry and brings a wealth of experience and dedication to our church family.
​
Rev. Brandon’s hobbies include spending time with his wife and children, raising poultry, hunting, fishing, camping, and quoting obscure movie lines. He is a Cleveland baseball fan!
Rev. Brandon’s view of ministry is as follows: “Christ is the hope for all who wish to have a relationship with God and to have eternal life. The church makes it possible for the people of God to share the good news of salvation. The spread of this good news is the duty and calling of all people who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. This means that to be a member of Christ’s church you must be active in the life of the church. We cannot sit on the sidelines and expect someone else to go and make disciples of all nations. This is the job of a Christian and as I see it, this is my calling as a pastor of a faith community.”
