Email Brad
Raised in rural Floyd and Montgomery Counties, Brad is a graduate of Shawsville High School. He completed his undergraduate studies at Emory & Henry College, receiving the Bachelor of Arts in Music. Brad attended seminary at Boston University School of Theology, where he studied theology, as well as sacred music. After completing the Master of Divinity at BU in 2000, he was commissioned a probationary member of the Virginia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. He was then ordained an Elder and made a full member of the Conference on June 16, 2003.

Brad’s first pastoral appointment was with Great Bridge United Methodist Church in Chesapeake, Virginia. He served four years as the congregation’s first associate pastor. Since June 2004, Brad has been blessed to serve as pastor of Gogginsville United Methodist Church.

In the years before entering the pastorate, Brad’s settings for ministry included serving as the summer camp program director for two different United Methodist camps in Virginia. While in seminary, Brad was commissioned by Carter Memorial United Methodist Church in Needham, Massachusetts to serve on staff as the student pastor. Brad has also done additional work as a church musician for churches in Virginia and Massachusetts.

Brad’s particular areas of vocational interest include preaching, postmodern evangelism, Christian education, Wesleyan studies, and liturgy and worship. While he loves pastoral ministry, and finds his gifts the most fully utilized there, he is also a musician, and finds spiritual fulfillment in hearing and performing classical music, as well as folk and bluegrass.

Besides his baptism, Brad’s greatest honor in life is to be the husband of Kimberly Allison Dulaney. Kim is a native of Hampton, Virginia, and is a graduate of the University of Virginia (B.A.), and Boston University School of Theology (M.T.S.). Kim received her M.D. from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia, and is now practicing Family Medicine with Carilion Medical Associates, Rocky Mount.. Brad and Kim have two children: Zora (age 4), and Jesse William (age 1). They also enjoy hiking, backpacking, and canoeing together. In addition to these things, Brad also enjoys running, reading and woodworking.
