Pastor Brandon Shotten: Senior Pastor
I was born and raised in Southeast Iowa, graduated from high school in 2006 and from MidAmerica Nazarene University in 2010 with a BA degree in Pastoral Ministry.
During my college years I completed internships with College Church of the Nazarene with mentor, Dr. Daniel Vanderpool and at Gateway Church of the Nazarene in Oskaloosa, Iowa with mentor, Rev. Dave Childers. I served as a resident in Uphaus dormitory while in college.
Upon graduation from MidAmerica I served for three and a half years as an associate pastor on the Iowa District and was ordained an elder in the Church of the Nazarene in 2013. The last five plus years I have served on the Kansas City District, pastoring the Carrollton Church of the Nazarene.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, fishing, playing pool, board games, reading, attending sporting events, concerts, movies, photographing of old barns, and being around farm animals. My passion is preaching, equipping those for ministry, casting vision and leading people in transformational discipleship.
