Nice to meet you!

My name is Brian McBride and this is my wife, Nicole. We have been married since August 1992, and have been blessed with three adult children and two amazing grandchildren. The genuine heartbeat of our family is to see people come to know Jesus. We are dedicated to building God’s Kingdom through practical teaching of Biblical values, focused and proven discipleship, and intentional relationship building. Helping others discover their gifts, along with sharing the vision for taking a message of Hope everywhere we go to everyone we meet is our passion. Nicole and I are active and love to be outdoors. We enjoy walking the beach, kayaking, swimming, or just a simple evening on the patio with friends and family.

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15

“No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:39 NLT

Worship is not just an action, it is a lifestyle .

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2
