Reverend Aaron Brasfield, Jr.

Pastor Brasfield was chosen by God and elected to be the Shepard of our church in 1997 after the transition of our beloved pastor, Dr. O. Everett Piper. As our visionary leader, Pastor Brasfield strives to keep our church a place of refuge in the community. He is a true Shepard that watches over his flock. His focus is the membership of our church and how to take us to the next level of serving the Lord in the community. He has lead us through many stages of renovation to our church physically and spiritually that truly show his dedication, and help us grow in faith. Pastor Brasfield is a proud father, grandfather, mentor, and true child of the King. He has been dedicated to the ministry for over 40 blessed years and celebrated his 20th year at the First Church in March of 2017.
