OUR TEAM
Brian Bradford
PRESIDENT & FOUNDER
As a third generation pastor and after almost 20 years of full-time ministry, Brian Bradford has had a front row seat to the work of the Lord his entire life. As his father always says, "ministry has the highest highs and lowest lows of any profession." After experiencing a season of exhaustion, Brian was able to rebound with the assistance of many who cared for him. Now, he seeks to help other clergy get and stay healthy. Currently, he is the founding pastor of Rocket City Church, a new start up church in Huntsville, Alabama. He's married to a Chicago-native, Shannon, and has three amazing kids and one chocolate lab. When he's not leading, preaching, or spending time with his family, he can be found reading books on leadership, sitting in the duck blind, or drinking good coffee with friends both old and new...and he thinks about heaven, a lot!

Mike Hofer
Board Member
I was born and raised in Richmond, Indiana. I spent eight years in the U.S. Army, including four in the 82nd Airborne Division and four years in the Indiana National Gaurd. I am married to my wife, Kristen and together we have two amazing children, Tymothy and Alexandria. I have been a pastor for 22 years, including 17 in youth ministry and five planting churches. Our family has done ministry in many different contexts in six different states. I would love to see Pastors given the opportunity to refresh, recharge, and renew. I know what burn out feels like and have experienced deeply myself. My heart is with and for the Pastor and Pastoral Family.
“It's better to be righteous than it is to be right.”
