| OUR FOUNDATION
What We Believe
-
We believe in the absolute truth of God's Word.
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
2 Timothy 3:16
-
We believe it is a privilege to love and serve our Lord, because He first loved us.
"We love because he first loved us."
1 John 4:19
-
We believe that there is a battle between Good and Evil, and Godly Men are called to be engaged in that battle.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 6:12
-
We believe that the only solution to evil is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, lived out in the Lives of His own.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."
Romans 1:16
We Believe Godly Men Can "Make a Difference"

Brad Herman
Brad is retired from the Process Automation Industry where he worked for over 45 years. He is currently the Men’s Pastor at Applewood Baptist Church. Brad also helped initiate the ABC Security Team leading them biblically to understand God’s call to protect the Bride. Brad is married to Robyn Herman, and together they strive to be “One Flesh” to glorify Jesus Christ through their Marriage. Brad and Robyn have 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. In serving his family, and the church, Brad is keenly aware of Satan’s attacks on the family, the church, and the truth of God’s word. Our culture is continuing to move to deny the existence of God, and is redefining God’s creation related to gender, marriage, creation, man’s purpose and reason for existence. Brad sees the root of the problem is a battle where Godly men are absent.
