Rev. Brad Greene - Worship Minister
Ext. 107

I’m basically one of those so-called “church kids.”  Born and raised right here in Woodstock, the church has always been a central part of my life.  After graduating from Etowah in 1991, I went to Florida State University and pursued my degree in Music Education.  While there, the Wesley Foundation became an integral part of drawing me back into a relationship with Christ.  (Imagine that…someone straying from God during college!?!?!?)  It was also through the Foundation that I met my wonderful wife, Erica.  After graduating in 1995, I felt very strongly that God was calling and drawing me toward work in a local church.  That has led us to the present, with many seasons along the way.  These seasons included 3 years as Director of Music, Youth, and Education at Commerce First UMC, 4 years as the Youth Minister at Trinity UMC in Cartersville, and 1½ years as Contemporary Worship Leader at Dallas First UMC.  Additionally, the calling of God upon my life led me to Candler School of Theology (I graduated in May of 2005) and ordination in the United Methodist Church.  Erica and I were married in 1997, and since then God has blessed us with Ian (born 2001) and Joy (born 2006).  God definitely drew us to Hillside in 2005, and it is with joy and humility that I serve you as Associate Pastor, with an emphasis on ministry to young adults.
