Pastor Brad entered the ministry 28 years ago, pastoring churches in Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. He earned a BA in Biblical Studies from Southeastern Bible College and an MA in Ministry from Luther Rice Seminary.
He has been married to Angie thirty years and has three grown daughters, Abbie, Chloe, and Gracie, along with one granddaughter, Wren.
Pastor Brad is a huge fan of C.S. Lewis, reads everything Tim Keller writes, has never watched an entire sports event in his life, thinks the Lord of the Rings movies are the best ever made, still watches cartoons, and enjoys writing, photography, and keeping fit.

Rob Frazier serves as Worship Pastor, leading worship in song at Sunday services and other special events. "Leading God's people in singing their praise to the Lord is a privilege I do not take lightly," says Rob. "Congregational worship blesses us to come into His presence as His gathered family to praise Him for who He is and thank Him for what He's done."
Rob enjoyed a 25 year career in Christian music as a songwriter, artist, and producer before becoming a pastor, and still counts making music as one of his greatest joys. He came to Nashville to join the band Petra, recorded and toured with them briefly, and went on to produce seven solo albums while writing and producing for other artists in the CCM and mainstream fields. He has over 200 recorded songs in his catalogue, including gold, platinum, and multi-platinum song placements and multiple Grammy and Dove award nominations.
He traveled worldwide in music ministry representing Compassion International and World Vision. Feeling the call toward church work, he began seminary training in 1997 at Regent University School of Divinity, earning an MA in Practical Theology. That led to his first pastorate in 2000 at Belmont Church in Nashville, where he served through 2012, followed by a term as Chaplain and Life Coach at Nashville Rescue Mission through February 2017.
Alongside his role at PVFBC, Rob serves full time as Associate Director of Staff Development with A.C.T. Intl. (Artists in Christian Testimony), a missions sending agency for creatives and innovative ministry specialists. He also teaches as an Adjunct Professor of Bible and Theology at Williamson College in Franklin, TN. He still finds time for songwriting and performing on guitar and keyboards, and enjoys reading theology, politics, and culture, hiking, biking, and the occasional bit of yardwork.
Born in New Jersey and raised near Philadelphia, Rob is now an honorary Southerner. He has been married for 36 years to his wife Carol, and they have three grown children, all professionally involved in the arts.
Full bio coming soon.
