Pastoral Staff

Rev. Carl Brannon

Carl Brannon joined the staff as Pastor of Outreach and Discipleship in September of 2007. He came to Greenville after 17 years serving at Waukegan Free Methodist Church in Northern IL. He and his wife Kim have four children: Anna, Jeremiah, Joshua, and Sarah.

Carl received his Bachelor of Arts in Religion/Psychology from Greenville College in 1984 and his Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary in 1990. He has also received two years of training through the Arrow Leadership Program which specializes in equipping for strategic leadership and outreach. Carl has served in urban settings and has been involved in initiatives for community transformation and cooperative networking across denominational boundaries. While serving in Waukegan he initiated strategies to build unity in a diverse community. He was part of the leadership team of When We Pray initiatives and Catalyst in Lake County IL. He has a passion for reaching out to those who feel disconnected and/or alienated from the Church and Jesus Christ. He also believes that when churches work together we can accomplish much more for the Kingdom.

When Carl has free time he may be found working on any number of home projects, or on a 1931 Ford Model A which he inherited from his father. He and Kim also enjoy bike riding and most anything outdoors.

If you have any interest in issues related to outreach, community transformation, or small groups Carl would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email or call him at the church office, (618) 664-2584.
