Pastor Bryan Prell - Principal & Religion

Bryan's two favorite portions of Scripture are the Parable of the Prodigal (Luke 15:11-32) and 1 John 4:9-12. Both texts give a glimpse into the beautiful heart of God; the God who never stops loving and waiting even when we have run far away from Him; the God who never hesitates to forgive and restore when we come home.
